Firstly, I would try and create a pattern. I decided to take a small peice from a photograph, I took, and then make it so it would repeat forever.

This worked surprisingly well, when taken out of any context, whatsoever, so foolishly... I plodded on...
I then decided to add some "regular irregularities" to the image. The colour wash served quite nicely. It almost looked like jewels of some description.
Seriously, test out that baby as a desktop wallpaper (on repeat, obviously)! Gives you a headache, doesn't it...
So, in the end, it was easy. What are these stories about? Not much, really. They're unexciting and (dare I say?) quaint.
I just needed a wallpaper that matched that description.
All I did was search "cream floral wallpaper" and it turned up my design of choice in the first few pages. Yay!
I hope you enjoyed that particularly uninteresting tale.

P.S. The moral of the story is: Don't try. Just Google it!
