blueberry scribble floral gribouillage ramage myrtille

Explanation:
a suggestion!
ramage - floral design
gribouillage - scribble in the sense of "doodle" (rather than griffonage - more scribble in the sense of writing quickly)

blueberry scribble floral Fleurs et griffonnages/gribouillages/graffitis couleur myrtille

Explanation:
ou *Fleurs et griffonnages/gribouillages/graffitis bleus-noirs*

N.B. *scribble* peut signifier aussi bien griffonnage/gribouillage/gribouillis que graffitis; en l'absence d'illustrations, je choisirais *griffonnages* qui est plus général.
