    I like the red one the best, what about possibly green for the center? Very nice job.

    Hi I agree with you they don't seem to go to well.. I think maybe a green would make it pop.. But other wise the The bright red..

    I think number three is definitely the most elegant. Have you considered having two colours in the centre? Maybe a larger size black circle with the elegant fabric a slightly smaller circle. That way, the black would make it pop but the other fabric would give it the elegance you are going for. Or maybe if you had the dark peach that is the background of one of your fans and then the elegant fabric in the middle. Just a thought. It is beautiful and will be well worth the effort you put into finding just the right fabric or combination of fabrics that make you happy.

    I think you need a solid or tone on tone to contrast with all the prints, and possibly the gold as in the first photo or a deep red. Because of all the texture (many prints) the contrast should be the lack of texture in the center (as in a solid or tone on tone). Just sayin...

    After so many have responded, please be sure and show us how you finally decide to finish. Beautiful plate--I like the Christmas colors and personally like the red poinsettia center.

    I like the first one. The gold sets off all the other colors.
