was the pixelated look your goal? if so, great job...even though it's not so much my cup of tea. i don't like pale yellow...to me, it's like mauve or beige...all purpose and blah. like the color of hospital walls.

it's supposed to look pixelated
and i was kind of going for a dull, somewhat old fashioned country-ish look. i see your point, though.

also, this wasn't meant to be wallpaper, i pictured it on something much smaller, like maybe a fabric handbag or wallet.

little to old fashioned for me - would make a great cross-stitch pattern though!
