Perhaps you could find a more tone on tone deep blue?
Beautiful plate BTW!!

Hey Rachel, thank you so much for your input. I am looking for a tone-on-tone deep or navy blue for that very reason, the "busy" aspect. Guess I'll need to head into town to the bigger stores w/a much larger selection. Darn, what a chore to have to go the the fabric store and search all day coz I get lost and forget what I went ther for in the first place! :lol:
