Default Halloween Wall Hanging

I am undecided about the border. I love the fabric, but now I am thinking that I should use a 'black background' fabric. Our quilt store doesn't have one but I could wait until I go on a trip. What say you experts? Should I wait until I can get a black fabric or use the lime green.
This pattern is from The Quilter magazine, November 2009. I have had it marked for three years.
Nothing is sewn down, no blanket stitching in black yet - that is why the eyes look a little weird.
Thank you in advance for your opinions.
Oops the hand slipped on the post too.

Oh how cute!!!
I like the border as it is, but maybe something with a little more black would be good too!! I don't think a totally black border would be any better than what you already have. IMHO!

adorable! I think it depends on the look you are going for. A more black border will make it maybe spookier? but the green border you have there gives it a fun whimsical look! I rather like the green! Whatever you do it is going to be a great Halloween decoration!

I think a small solid black border around the yellow/gold first and then that greenish border would make your border pop.

I really like the green. I think it is adorable and won't "scare" the kiddies too bad.
