HeyJude is asking to see pattern used as a background in this week’s 2020 Photo Challenge. She adds:
Don’t have your subject too large in the frame or it will detract from the pattern. And consider whether the patterned background adds or takes away the impact of the subject.
The pattern reflects the zaniness of the characters. It’s bright and bold, but could we imagine Sesame Street any other way?
I did have a slight problem in that I ran out of chair in the top right, which meant removing part of Oscar The Grouch’s arm. Cropping tighter to the top of his dustbin hat and creating a landscape shot, would prevent the pattern stopping within the frame, and make it more abstract, but having a little extra pattern top and bottom works best for me.
We happened upon these Sesame Street toys waiting to greet visitors on an upholstered chair at The Birthplace of Kermit the Frog Museum in Leland, Mississippi.

Brings childhood to the present.
I was more of a Clangers and Magic Roundabout girl, but it was still great fun to see these.
This is brilliant, much better than any of my examples. The pattern here definitely adds to the subject matter. 😁
I wonder how many people will have furniture in this design?
I’d like it!
Whoa! Instant wake-up! What my coffee wasn’t doing well this image did! And what a great way to summarize everything Sesame Street was about. I love the emphasis on the background. And I also loved learning about where Kermit grew up. Thanks!
It ought to have been published with a dazzle alert.
What a jolly photo! And full of pattern too, as required.
This was a lucky find. 🙂
Love that gang! And I learned something new today. I didn’t know where Kermit was born. 😉
Some ladies very kindly took us on a tour around the river to see the landscape and explain their plans to conserve it.
Also, Kermit is my favorite!
Lovely, this takes me back, and those vibrant colours are perfect. Luckily you included the last sentence, because I was half thinking this was your own home decor. LOL
My house is very tame compared to this. 🙂
An instant Sunday smile! Glad I stopped by. 🙂 🙂
I’m glad you did too.
what a fun photograph, and how fabulous for the challenge.
Thanks, Becky!
