Comparing Indian Summer & Spice O' Life Tea/Coffee

Indian Summer has no vegetables in its design, as the cookware version of Spice O' Life does, but many of Indian Summer's motifs bear an obvious resemblance to those found on the tea & coffee version of Spice O' Life.  The colour schemes of these two patterns are almost identical too.  They were not designed by the same artist, but the similarities are probably not coincidental either.
