I like #4. In 1, 2, and 3 the background recedes but in 4 my eye bounces back and forth between background and leaves. Almost an optical illusion. Definately 4.

I'm with you. I was going to say #1 until I saw #3.

I think #4 because all the colors are there.

I like #4 the best. Because nature has more than just a few colors. Although I might not go as bright on the sashing. I'm thinking of doing a similar pattern, and I'm going to take the colors from a picture of a fall picture that even had a little pink in it. So this can be unlimited in colors.

I like # 3 and #2, in that order. #4 is too busy, and #1 is too plain.

They're all quite nice, but #1 is my favorite!

So I drew up the pattern in EQ5, and experimented a little with colors. I didn't play around with the borders too much. I think the outer border may be a decision that waits until I actually have the project underway.
I have four colorways to post....it might take two tries. Thanks for being patient.
