you seem like a bubbly and cute person. Probably better to go with your personality right? :3
Strawberries are really cute. You could paint the rims of the cups dark red, with a thinner line of green below it, then have a cluster of strawberries on the pot itself with similar lines around the lid and bottom.
A simpler idea could be to paint little pastel polka dots (buttercup yellow, rose pink, baby blue, softer orange) around the rim and paint a line of spring green (the colour of new leaves) below it.
Another is line art of leaves in a more yellowy green. Little outlines with the inner veins of the leaf with brown polka-dots. On the pot you could add an acorn (again, just the outline) in two different shades of brown with leaves.
Hope I described these properly and that they help.
