Little Tea Pot....Short and Stout

[Ron Duke]

Gary, thank you.

Boy,
I've changed the gray to a deep blue and minimized the texture so that it is almost indiscernible.
Personally, I think putting in some kind of diagonal lines or texture would be even more distracting. I like Gary's suggestion of a darker background to make the tea set stand out, POP!.

I've also gone ahead and adjusted detail on the tea cups so that the patterns aren't in the exact same position, and the tea cup on the left is placed with the handle to the back as opposed to the side like the one on the right.
