I like 3 also it seems to frame the center but what do you think of just doing it in all pink (no yellow) or all yellow ( no pink)? But then again I do like 1 also. Beautiful!

I tend to agree with this comment. Audition a sample border before you do all.

Solid color to not take anything away from the beauty of the center

None of these! I think your work is so beautiful, you need a simple solid color border or possibly two borders that are solid maybe the black and a blue that pulls the colors of the vase outside the picture and into the frame??? Just my opinion, sorry for the wordiness! Respectfully.

If I had to choose from just these options, I would choose the third one, however, I agree with others, that these borders are too bold and graphic for this beautiful fracture. I think they all draw attention away from it. Have you considered other options?
