A little bit about me.
I'm Jari and I'm a Finnish boy that likes designing with a simple style. I'm into Tech, Keyboards and Deskmats. I Wanted to bring out what I've got to show that I can bring some more nature out to your setups! I personally love nature and outdoors landscapes so I wanted to design this simple landscape.

I think that if the hill on the right side was also on the left, it would look a lot cleaner, but I love the design and colors. Definitely hopping on this good luck!

The fog one was pretty good suggestion because grey fits with a lot of different color themes.
