Thanks for all the suggestions! http://www.quiltingboard.com/t-155028-1.htm

I added a florish to the upper right corner, wasn't going to add a flower but looked better with and a ladybug.
Added snail in lower left corner, which looked a LOT better when I stood back from my table and looked at it -
but after I fused it in place an hung it to see I didn't like it as well........oh well, it's on there now!
Also added a ladybug on the leaf on bottom right side.

Now to stitach everything down with blanket stitch
(definitely not my favorite part!) Will also add a stripe border

Border fabric
