I think you got it with your last arrangement.
Don't get me wrong, I like the blue floral and have actually used that same fabric in a project, but you're right that it overwhelms and detracts from the focal point, which is your embroideries.

So someone suggested I try something with the pale and bright pink. So here is what I came up with, just a peek of the darker pink, seems to make it recess more... hopefully...

Well, you asked for opinions and you sure are getting them! I'd use the dark pink instead of the pale pink on the right. Or I'd find a less busy aqua choice for the left side choice. Love the embroidery.
