I made one using a yellow with white dots but I am not sure about the pink/peach small trim. Please let me know what you think. Anyway, I am posting photos--hope they come through.
I forgot to tell you that when you look through 3-D glasses the images pop right off the fabric--Really cool.
Okay, what about the green with yellow trim. I just laid it the green on top--not sewn yet.

I personally like them all, but the green and yellow, last picture, is very, very nice. Love the space pillowcase. I made pillowcases for my "adopted" grandchildren. I didn't have that fabric, but had fabric with a celestial type print for Noah, who wanted to be an astronaut. Then for Madison I found this tiger print - she wants to be a zoo keeper. They both loved them. I'm thinking of making some pillowcases for a craft fair. What do you charge for one, for a pair, just curious about a ball park price, if you feel like sharing.

I don't think this will show close to my first message but here are the 4 butterfly small travel pillowcases.
My customer probaby won't like the bright trim on #4 but I think it brings out that color in the butterflies.

Thanks, I did the last one thinking I could get her to go for a little color. The pictures do not do any of the fabrics justice but #4 the small trim just makes those butterflies with that color stand out and that is even without the 3-D glasses :thumbup:

I really like the one with the planets too but I have not sold any of that fabric.
Now I am on to Pirates and Pirate maps--anyone up to helping me choose coordinating fabrics? Should I do it as another post?
Thanks again for all of your help.
