Pat, my client wanted a dragonfly theme. I went over several art books with her to determine her preferences for style and colors. She is generally drawn to simple graphic representations as found in wood cuts and quilts.

Doing recearch on dragonflies soon showed me there is a wealth of shapes and colors that they come in. As with much of nature, no matter what color combination you come up with, it already exists somewhere on earth.
