Just gorgeous blocks, since your blocks have all green in them and then different reds, why not try a deep solid green? I would also try solid black. This isn't an easy decision after you get that far.
Try the colors I mentioned and show us with them so we can see what happens.
I made Dresden's in August and had the same problem. We used 16 blades in ours and I see you have 18 I think; if I counted correct. Very, Very, Beautiful. Great Christmas colors too.
