Peacocks, Leaves and Figs

Today I'm starting to work on a new autumn-inspired design. My inspiration is coming from the intense, warm and contrasting colours of autumn, nature is so beautiful this time of year!
My pattern will include some of these elements...

    This truly is inspiring. Even thought I'm really not into bugs ;) I think the peacock is my favourite one.
