Need some help dressing up an image

I've been using this Om/Aum design on bags I make, but I want to dress it up a bit.

Anyone willing to help me out? I'm not very good with photoshop.

This is the pic



I'm thinking something small, simple, maybe multiple images around the background of the image. I've tried flowers, not too keen on the flowerly look though. I'd like something abstract, but then again I'm not sure.

whatever the accompanying image is, is has to be fairly simple so that I can convert it into an embroidery file. Any ideas or suggestions? I'm having a brain fart.

oh and I have 4in x 4in or 5x7 area to work with...with the larger 5 inches is the height.

Have you thought about looking at crop circles for inspiration?

This one looks quite nice.

This one looks kinda flowery and ying yangy.


Edit : added another I thought quite nice

nice idea

something like that might work, the second one you linked...I'll play with it now, see how it would look if the om was in the middle..

anymore ideas???

Do you have a "cleaner" version of the image?

Never mind, I see I have it in my photoshop shapes.




Edit: Here is one quick idea

One more..this one is fairly clean...

KL you are a photoshop wizard!!! I absolutely love the first one.

reminiscent of the crop circles but uniquely it's own. awesome!!!

Well this it, the image from KingLizard, done in three different colors on little bag, the fringe compliments it well, but the lighting isn't doing it much justice... I think I need to make the image bigger though.
