Okay! Disclaimer here. I'm a native of Southern California so I'm not really an authority on fall leaves.
Now,that being said, when I first looked at your blocks I immediately thought of a dappled forest in the fall. The sun's shining through (center blocks) and the rest is in dark shade but there's lots and lots of color in that shade? It's beautiful and I love it! I say, "Carry on!" :D
