Okay....I'll post a picture of what it looked like last night, before I frogged it.  As you can see, there is
no real barrier between the warm tomato red & the cool pink in the fabric.  It just hits me wrong every
time I look at it, and it actually shows up more cringe-worthy in person...the picture is being a little too
kind.

I should probably mention that I also did an overlay and really liked how it looked, but I didn't
take into account that the Mira pictures online always show up a different color than the floss
ever stitches up.  Therein lies the problem.

I love the dramatic motion of the grey in the fabric.... like it's the evening.... but the clash of warm
and cool is too much.  I'm going to have to save this piece for something else just as special.

Vanessa, I usually have the same problem - the floss matching the fabric too much.  This is a new
challenge for me.  lol
