Today's creative project and crazy colors

Today I worked on painting this dresser/desk piece of furniture that I had salvaged from the dumpster.  Although I originally planned on painting it white, after going through all the trouble to sand and prime it, it felt like a shame to paint it such a boring color.  So instead, I used paint on hand and made it apricot and hot pink.  I'm thinking of painting the sides and top of it "leopard print" if I can figure out how...to look somewhat like photo on the right.  Wouldn't that be fabulous?
