IMHO the purple pops out enough on it's own. I love how you are drawing out the blue though. And it will play very nicely with the other colors in the border :D:D:D

I agree with the others ... pick up all the colours that are in the panel. All the shades of the tans/browns, and it looks like you could pick out a couple of each of the turquoise, green, fuschia. And any others we're not seeing here in the online pic.
My first thought was a piano key border ... then I thought ... perhaps emulate the pattern in the panel. In the first close up, there's a zig-zag pattern in the brown, green, turquoise and fuschia. What about using it?
Or for another pattern to pick up on, look at the bottom of the same pick to the left under the man there's a pattern in brown outline and white (or is it tan?) that you could work up for a border. Same pattern is on the second close up in browns and I agree with the others ... pick up all the colours that are in the panel. All the shades of the tans/browns, and it looks like you could pick out a couple of each of the turquoise, green, fuschia. And any others we're not seeing here in the online pic.

That'll be a very interesting project and you should have fun creating it!

Not sure how far Hills is from where you are but there is a new shop there called Inspirations. They seemed to have some really nice fabs that might go with your egyptian panel. Might be something for you to check on if you are able. Please post pics of what you decide on. :)
