I think I would just use soft brown fabrics to make blocks around the panel (if you want it to be larger) and mix in just a few desert camo fabrics, then use the rest of the camo on the back. I'm afraid that adding color to this panel would just ruin it, and it's pretty as it is.

I might just give coloring a try, not on the panel but on some scraps. With just a little highlighting, you could make the deer stand out more without changing the colorway. They like subtle and camo. I definitely would not be adding circus colors, even if that was what I wanted LOL. Grab a box of crayons, google and give it a try.

I like this idea.

It is so pale and colorless. I plan to cut it up and just use the center deer, adding blocks and borders. My issue is with the deer itself. How do you think I could add color to it? I thought about fabric paint or fabric markers but have never used either of them.
It's not easy finding Bambi themed fabric. I found a couple on ebay but wasn't really impressed.
I would greatly appreciate any ideas.
Thanks.
