That's it! I responded before I viewed the whole thread. You nailed it with the soft yellow and black.

I really like the border that you posted that you came up with the yellow and black. Man that really makes it pop!

Wow, you've tried it. We just got the fractured book in the LQS that I work in. It looks stunning !!! I vote for the third and last border. Thanks for posting.
