KLue - a while back you mentioned that buttercream would be a good choice for my background. I can't seem to locate anything - do you know if Kona puts out a buttercream solid? Any other suggestions?

which ever one you don't like you can use it in the DJ swap since neither is pure white.

There's about a dozen different shades of beige/cream in Kona cotton.

I found a set of DJ fabrics, 200 fat 16th, 9"x11", on eBay for $114. Total of $128 with shipping. I figure if I was going to buy 5 layer cakes at about $30 each I might as well spring for the set specifically made for DJ.
