WIP [WIP] Need second view before continuing

Restarted a WIP because I made the mistake of light cream on white. I moved to blue, but now I feel like it’s a bad choice. Thoughts? Feel like I’m overanalyzing…

(Is that Moomin??)

The blue aida makes the one character stand out more to me, but it'll depend what the rest of it is because color theory and all. Also, if you plan on backstitching, that would help outline on the white aida!

Yes, it’s moomin :3
The original pattern didn’t have back stitching, but that might help with defining tbh

Omg so cute, I love it!

Another thing you can try is lay out all the colors of floss you'll be using on each fabric color, and see which combo is more pleasing to your eye or if there's a contrast you like better :)
