Candles and repeating patterns

Today I have been working on new designs and more repeating patterns....practicing some skills.

Here is what my repeating design looks like on the computer.

First I draw some designs...in this case it is candles....the retro kind from my childhood Christmas.

I redraw them in Adobe illustrator.

I add colors and other elements.

By switching colors...you can have a completely different look.

Love this yellow....remember when all the colors of the late 60's and early 70's were this bright and crazy?!!

I made it soft here...much more delicate. 

Love the grays and blues. 

More crazy wildness!!

My mom used to make the brightest clothes for us...this reminds me of it. 

I love how different they can be....it is still the same design. 

I don't know what I like best at this point!

This would be cute wrapping paper....I think.

Love purple.

My mind is spinning.

I now don't know where to start with color options.

If you have a favorite color combo or set ...please let me know....

I am totally not sure of what is best now.
