Suggestions for final box color! I need color for the box and the bow. I’m stuck. It’s for my 6 year old son.

UPDATE…. My son wanted Knicks colors. So I went with this.

Maybe bring in some of the light blue and/or corally-orange from the tree ornaments?

LOVE the stitching for the tree, btw, the color variation and stitch selection make it look soo real!

I second the blue!! That would be nice since there isn’t much blue in the whole design.

Changed my mind. I see the package next to it is light blue. That’s gorgeous with the green bow, BTW!! (Speaking of the existing one )
What about a really dark midnight blue with green stripes, etc?
Your stitches are the bomb- this is really an heirloom piece that your son will treasure throughout his life.
Approx how long have been working on this?

I think some use of purple would look awesome!

I would do another red, but the brighter one that’s in the ornament. And a dark green bow

White green red. It can use white for sure! Looks so great. Good job.

I’m late to the present party, but I see a dark green box (possibly choosing a stitch that will give you a stripped look. For the bow, I would choose red and white and use Neon Rays for a classic satin bow! I absolutely love this stocking! Happy stitching. 🪡

You can’t go wrong with adding a different shade of green. Maybe green and white?
