It's pretty fabric...not sure of scale of print but it is almost like an ombré type fabric. Are you thinking of leaving it a whole cloth background then placing shapes on top of it? Those always looks so neat with an applique pattern over the whole cloth as a background. It's really colorful and you have lots of options. I have a bunch of ombré panels I haven't cut into yet because I'm still playing with ideas. You can play and audition your ideas before deciding.
