Your bottom idea is more like what I was thinking but using less of the saw teeth (?) and making them larger as its a 6.5 round. I love the ribbon if I broke up the bottom with a 1" fabric strip. its so busy to me otherwise am I the only one who thinks that? the middle is a centerpiece of points. coming so close to that with more points could be overkill. but I am working on it. Thanks for the ideas. its nice to see it in actual pictures other than my horrific doodles. it gives me a better grasp on what it might look like. Your good Paula. Very good
