The design of a panel is unlimited. Any subject may be represented by using different colors and textures of glass. The focus of these panels can range from nature scenes, cars, geometrics, southwestern, religious, quilts, holidays, etc. Your choices are unlimited. If you can see it or dream it, you can build it.
