Nature is the best teacher we could ever get. The vibrant color harmony of the nature provides best composition for our designs. It’s the ultimate color swatch we can find.

When we went to Martha’s Vineyard, I was thrilled to see the color harmony of the nature, the calm beaches and the open skies. The trip was extremely relaxing and it was nice for a change to not rush everywhere. While we were visiting Oak Bluffs, the Gingerbread houses caught my eye. The charming and colorful houses surrounded by beautiful greenery and open pathways is simply Gorgeous!

My trip inspired me to create these Gingerbread color swatches  and brushes for Photoshop CS5 as a memory of our trip to Martha’s Vineyard.

Hope these will help you unleash your creativity. Please download the swatches here or go to downloads page to download them.
