Inspired Rug Design

I've been inspired by Casey to work on designing a miniature rug. I decided to use an unfinished design I started in AutoCAD while I was in college. I just have to figure out how to transfer it to canvas and what colors I want in it.

Any suggestions on the colors to use would be great. I'm thinking I want burgundy and black in the background. I'll probably add some sort of simple border to it.
