    I think it could be. The darkest 2 prints in the example read as the same color to me, one is just a larger print.

    Karen, do you mean the lightest two prints?

    I think it would look pretty with 3 colors but those two light ones, in my opinion, do not have enough contrast between them.
    Think Dark, Medium and Light for 3 colors.

    No, I mean the two that look black, or really dark purple. One has tiny flowers on it and the other had larger flowers.

    It looks great to me! Go for it.
    Be warned. I am BORED.
    This could be dangerous.

    When you get cold just go stand in the corner.
    They are usually 90 degrees.

    A giraffe's coffee would be cold by the time it reached the bottom of his throat.
    Ever think about that? No? You only think about yourself??

    I thought it would work too and your sample proves it. Looks lovely.
