Well, I still like the idea, but it just won't work next to JoeAnn's border. And the more I look at it, the more I think that I was just stuck in the mindset of not wanting to do a "simple" border, when that is really what it needs at this point. Maybe my idea would have worked if I had used a different background, but I didn't, so....
My original idea was that your bear paws looked like birds, so I would make little ones that swooped around the edges carrying ribbon in their "beaks" that would make heart designs. Here is one I did to test the idea. I have different colors of bias tape, but the green is what I grabbed for the test block. But it just doesn't look good next to JoeAnn's border. However, I think I have a great print that would look good as a simple border. My little brain is working......
