    I love purple and green together.

    When we were in college a friend of mine worked for JCPenney in the little girls' department. I had a purple and green rugby shirt that I loved and wore it often. She couldn't understand why I liked it so much, so we talked about the combo. She did a display of purple and green just to humor me, including jewelry, and sold every item in a few days, then had to sell the items out of the display. I think a lot of people must like it when they see it, but it takes visionaries like us to put the combo out for them to see.

    I love the purples, but not sure about the green. Maybe a lighter color for the back ground to make the purple really pop. But then My favorite color is purple from lilac to dark, so anything in purple appeals to me. I just like for it to stand out when used, it is such a "royal" color.

    I think I would like it in a lighter shade of green, I really like a soft purple and mint green together.

    Pretty! I love greens and purples together. I've got one bagged and just waiting for me to start. It's so hard to decide what to work on next! LOL
