Have you thought of pinwheels? So many ways to mix and match blades with backgrounds. I would add that cantaloupe color in the multi squares to this batch, plus a very pale pink as a neutral, a royal blue, and a raspberry tone on tone that matches the background of the squares print. Remember light and dark are relative to what they're next to. A pastel is Darker than a white but lighter than, say, Jewel tones. Hope that helps. I try to avoid stripes but sometimes they are perfect playmates.
