Pattern Making for my site

I found out how to make a pattern and so i'm doing it so it can be put on my site. I'm trying to finish my website in the next couple of days because the applications for thought bubble are up and i want my site to be up before i apply. I feel this is my best shot at being picked.

this was my first rough sketch of what i wanted. I like putting myself in the images because i can draw myself and its the most successful character i have.

I included my favourite plants i draw, at first i chose colours that contrasted but not too many tones to avoid an overcrowded feel.

But i realised that once the pattern was repeated even the colour i had used could be too much so i decided to just keep it all one colour but just with different tones of it.

I considered a yellow background which did go with the greens of the image but once it was repeated it just felt like too much colour.

Here it is repeated. I've just put it on the sides of my site.

I kept it at the sides because i think it helps frame the site and draws the eye in.
