very striking

very pretty colors. love the purple and the golden color looks great as a center

I'm thinking maybe a fabric matching pompom

I like the yarn idea too. I have some of that now, and it's so pretty.

I, too, would say a yo-yo. It is very purdy. Love it.

Why not put a yoyo in the center

Your plates are so beautiful I would put them on a subtle background and let it show through so as not to distract from the plat.
