Product Description
The "Garden Whimsy" Mexican tile captures the cheerful spontaneity of nature with a design that feels like a hand-picked spring bouquet. At its center, four stylized terracotta petals form a soft cross, while yellow flower buds stretch outward in each diagonal corner, connected by leafy green stems. Between them, cobalt-blue quatrefoil shapes float playfully, adding rhythm and a folk-art flair. Set against a clean white background, this tile balances simplicity with vibrant detail. Perfect for kitchens, patios, or child-friendly spaces, it brings joy, color, and a handmade sensibility to any surface it touches.
