I think the first one is perfect. Too dark a back ground makes it duller looking, too light washed it out and made the blues disappear into the block...
I am sure that grama is very proud of you :D:D:D

Perhaps you could find a more tone on tone deep blue?
Beautiful plate BTW!!

I think white would wash it out and red would overpower it as you've used it in the plate already. I think that's why the dark blue seems to work so well. It's not a dominate color in the fabs you chose but it picks up from the fab you did use and incorporates just the right amount of red.

I think the dark blue background. The others are too close to the color of some of the plate slices and they don't pop as well. You are off to a good start, and what a wonderful tribute to your grandmother. She would be so proud that you are carrying on her tradition.
