    The red is great....the illusion of floating blocks is enhanced.

    Kind of what I was thinking too. I love the red and the way it pops, but it doesn't quite make the print blocks have the floating affect that happens when gray is used. I think you are right, the white needs to be changed to a color that would cast a red shadow.

    I used the same pattern, turned out great, but I used dark blue. Like yours brings out the red in the prints.

    Thank you, charm packs work well as all you'll need to do is cut them in half.

    What do you say when you want to say something "bad" - but want to maintain the illusion of sounding like a lady or gentleman?
