I guess they must be Christmas Fairies as they are sitting on poinsettias. I actually find it charming and I am sure some little girl will too. I think the over abundance of red is what is screaming at you. Definitely get rid of it on the sides. Tone it down with beige, light gold and the lightest shades of green leaning to moss and sage and away from lime. Then you can make some nice big leaf appliques and have them sneaking over the border into the body of the panel (maybe even have them be 3D where they go over the body of the panel, you know back them and quilt them before appliqueing and leave the tips that sneak over unsewn down.) to hide some of the red and black.
You can't really kaleidescope this unless you have multiples so you can get the repeat effect. Another option is to cut out the fairies and maybe just one of the poinsettias and applique them to another surface ala broderie perse method.
