So sorry you don't like it, but you are the one that must be happy! Even if you are not happy, when you can bring yourself to do it, finish the project, and give it to someone who will be delighted. It amazes me how people's tastes can be so different.
I think it looks good. However, maybe it is the background that is setting your bells off. Personally, I would try and use a darker green. If not, then I like the light green the best.
