I agree with Barb. It is more pleasing to my eye. Polka Dot with fat gray or light or dark pink, but definitely the polka dot. That makes the appliques center stage. For me, even though there are a lots of colors, with the elephant border I had a hard time resting my eyes Whereas, with the polka dot, I could more easily see the elephant applique. And if enough of elephant print for the backing.
