first of all, YAY someone who not only recognizes but also approves of Scorpy/Braca! \o/ :D I'm super happy you liked that set, it was so much fun to make!
And thanks for the super lovely comment, I'm really happy you don't think these are basic :3
aw I'm sure your icon would have been gorgeous and that you can rock bold colors better than you think you can! but at the same time yeah I hear you cause I have a similar relationship with muted colors... I definitely envy makers who can make them eye-catching!
