awww.thank you!! I'm reading along..purple, green, green, green and you like my strips =)

I like the greenish too but wondered if it was to much with the triangle/border. To me the purplish isn't enough contrast with the darker redish border.

Thanks everyone!! You've confirmed what I was thinking. This means I need to go to the LQS again =), the green was supposed to be the back. *sigh*, guess I'll just have to buy something else......*giggles*

I'm inclined to go with the purple - it looks livelier (sp?).

The green is nice but seeing as the background is this colour, to me having the border green I think is a little to much.
