Why Did I Make These?
Tropical fruits and sunshine have a special place in my heart. I moved from the chilly Great Lakes region of Northwestern Pennsylvania down to the sunny warmth of Florida over 30 years ago — and I’ve been in love with all things tropical ever since! Creating these fruity collage backgrounds let me capture a little piece of that endless-summer feeling to share with you!
For this set I used images from the Graphics Fairy and my own creativity!
