Lightbulb Could I have a few opinions or suggestions, please?

I was asked by my FIL's wife to make some sort of keepsake for her new twin grandsons. I decided to make decorative name frames for them. Here is the first one:

Wyatt

The room theme is Peanut Mod collection by Amy Coe from Target.

I tried to carry over the colors and spots and added some stripes as well. Is there anything that I should change/move/add? The second frame is about 1/2 way done and is a variation of the first one. I'll post it once completed.

I'm really kinda nervous about this since its for family! Thanks for helping!

Very cute! The design looks like it will coordinate very nicely with the bedding set. Are you matching the lighter and darker green shades? Its hard to tell about the green colors from the Target add.

It looks great! And, you don't want it matching exactly anyway...
Looks like your name frame will outlast the nursery bedding, for sure!

Wow! You shouldn't be nervous about that one, It's tremendously creative and really darn cute. It'll be a keepsake as soon as it hits your relative's hand(s).

That is gorgeous, great job on the match, glad the other will be different. I hate when people refer to 2 individuals who happened to have the same BD *the Twins* Anyway nice job- wouldn't change a thing.

these are stunning, the "O" is a bit hard to read, but it could just be the way the camera photographed it! You really caught the essence of the bedding!

they are darling...I agree with some of the others where the O in Noah is sort of hard to see...maybe put a square solid color background behind each of the letters so the letters and the pattern in the letters don't get overpowered by the background pattern of the paper???
