Perhaps I err in calling them earthtones, but that's the only term I could think of. Thanks to everyone for the comments--no one said, "Eeewwww!" so I guess I'm good to go.

When I read Earth Tones I thought of all shades of Tans, Browns, and Beige and maybe some soft rusts. I like your Choices. You have "Real Earth Colors". (Grass, Water, Garden, Plains and Desert and Mountains..). She will Love it ! !

I like it. I like the splashes of red and orange. The question is are these colors that your mom likes? I think too often we make things in our preferred colors and do not take into consideration the colors that the recepients of our gifts like. Think about what colors your mom wears and uses in her home.
