The first fabrics seem to compete with each other. All have the same value of print. If you had a solid color with small print or simple all over pattern it would help the eye to rest and give contrast. i.e use the orange pumpkins, green/gold, and the leaves/black together.

Looking at the red its hard to see in this picture if it picks up the reds in the leaf fabric next to it. If it does, great, if the colors are off, then I'd choose another fabric.

My thinking exactly

I think a brown would look good with the pumpkins, if you could match the brown in the pumpkin fabric. And for me, the 3 prints kinda fight each other and I think it would look better if the 3rd fabric was a solid or tone on tone, or at the most, a small print. And I agree the red is too red! An orange/red would look better or even a gold. (IMHO!)

I'd switch the leaves. Maybe add a burt yellow to the second set and get rid of the red.

In the 2nd group I like the leaves and the green - the red it too red. In the 1st group I like the pumpkins; find something to tone it down and easy on the eyes; maybe a solid or a small print.
