Color Palette: Feathered Friends

This color palette collection is brought to you by my daughter, Allison, one of my junior designers this summer, who chose the images and colors of the seven all new color palettes below. Our family has always loved watching the birds around our home, or when we’re out in nature. Our tiny feathered friends are interesting and beautiful! We’ve also included some of the bird inspired color combinations from collections past!

One reason why birds and horses are not unhappy is because they are not trying to impress other birds and horses
— Salvador Dali

I hope you enjoy the Feathered Friends Color Palette Collection! If these inspire you to create I would love to know. Leave me a comment below, tag me on Instagram or Facebook (@paperheartdesign), or send me a message!
