If you want it to be reversable you should use red but not the same print. Just a solid red.

I agree the ginger bread men are so cute but you wouldn't be able to see them. I'd stay with the red unless you have some green you'd like to use.

OK, now that you are dizzy with all of our suggestions, please let us know what you decide.
Please don't forget to post a picture of the finished runner, it is really beautiful and will be no matter what you choose.
