Yokohama Spring

I've called my pattern "Yokohama Spring". I started with some flowery organic doodles, and many had a Japanese feel to them.

I decided to go with a soft spring-like palette of colors: two shades of moss green, two shades of dusty rose, ochre and cream. I turned my original line drawings white, so they would stand out.

FInally I created the spot graphic using a single cherry blossom, two flowers and the large marigold, which was my favorite design:

My pattern collection is inspired by the cherry trees that bloom in the spring in Japan. Here's the whole collection:
