I am on the Stars side. Because this is for a guy and guys seem to like the understated, I vote for the stars. The stars just shout "GUY" to me. The dots look much more feminine and soft. That's probably why all the women voting like the dots. "smile"

The stars look more lively to me, the dots a little bland. (you did ask )

I vote for the lighter one with dots. The stars seem a little too busy when you put the fabrics on but before I saw the second picture I would have picked the stars. Please share with us when you decide.

Both fabrics are really cool. The stars make me think more "scrappy" and the dots more "organized". I'm into the scrappy look right now so I would choose the stars!

I like the navy stars - top left. No reason, just do!

I agree!

I agree

To me, the dot is too white/bright. My eye is drawn to it and I have to fight in order to look at the larger rectangles. The stars appear less bright, and my eye goes immediately to the larger rectangles. I don't find the stars too busy (but then, I like busy).
