#4: This is great, my favourite entry so far. I'd be interested in seeing if this works with royal/richer colours?
Font - Perfect, no changes. Font Colour - Have a play with some deep purples/reds? Background Image - This i'm the least sure about, but i'm also completely clueless as to what could be done instead! The pattern I like, so leave that. Stitching around the side is obviously needed to "hold in" the pattern. I wonder what this would look like if it had another dimension to it, instead of being flat?
