    Cute, cute, cute..... I would use the dark green with the cute little holly red berries and lighter green leaves as my border. I think that combination would set the whole thing off nicely.

    I would go with the red vs green if those were the only 2 choices. You have more green in your border than red so I think it would be a nice contrast. If you're not looking for contrast, then green. Or, as someone else suggested, the cream to pull the center more into focus.

    I would do it in dark green. I thought red at first but looked and studied and changed my mind. Your work is great. Nice piece.

    Green would look great on this without taking away from the center panel.

    I would use beige for a very narrow border and finish with a wider red border. Very nice piece. I love the old fashioned Santa.
