    Default IMPUT on background color please

    ok so i made the Dresden plate block out of leftover scraps from various past projects. I can't decide weather to use the blue (it is ROYAL BLUE may not show up that way but it is.) or the cream as a background to put it on. I have 15 of these blocks. I tried a pink same as the center but it was toooo much pink. Or if a different color would be better tell me that too. I think the blue is a little much but the cream i lose some of the prints. your opinion is needed. thanks for your time. kellie

    I like the cream as well. I would say that if you wanted color I would try a really soft one like a light to mint green to pull bits from the leaves. Otherwise I would go with the cream. That is on my bucket list to do!! looks awesome!

    The only thing I can come up with is a soft green. : )

    I agree that the blue is too harsh. I prefer the cream.

    thanks ladies I had never thought of green as it is not really the main color in any of my prints. Blue is out for sure.

    Have to agree with the other ladies. I like the cream, but a pale mint or very light sage would look good as well.

    I like both of them, the blue really makes the yellow stand out, and the cream makes it look nice and girly.
