Experimental design for gift wrapping paper...

[Clicker]

I played  around with an  image of a some succulent plants I had taken with a view to using them in a texturised form  to design some gift wrapping paper, notelets and gift tags ... of course I can do endless colourways  but ... I'm not sure if the design is too big maybe .....???

I like this very much and I could see it making a pleasing gift wrap.

However, it not something I've ever dabbled with so can't really offer any worthwhile comment. Fuji perhaps?

How interesting that you are using succulents to design gift wrap, Polly. I think the flowers work well for this purpose.  

Just wondering how the overall pattern will look with  the top three are all lighter than the bottom three.

I see where you are coming from Cheryl ... the top ones were pale green and the lower ones were  a deep burgundy red ... They were on a shelf in a garden centre so I could have moved them around  I suppose eh ..Also the  texture I used  was darker on the lower half too ... Still... I quite like the idea of wrapping paper with a gradient  ..lol...    Maybe this looks more balanced ...

I think this version does look more balanced, Polly. Have you made wrapping paper before?
