| Pink and Green |
Speaking of color schemes, here are two different bracelets made from the same colors. My sister likes this shade of spring green and had a lot of green beads on hand. She chose red and light pink to compliment the green and took off from there.
The left-hand bracelet began with green hearts separated by small pink beads. The three red-flowered beads are really unusual - each one is like a red cylinder bead overlaid with flat pink flowers and covered in a clear round ball. They picked up the pink as well as the flat red beads she used. The silver heart-shaped clasp my sister found adds a personal touch.
The right-hand bracelet, on the other hand, takes a whole different tack. It uses a cylindrical green bead covered in flowers for the focal point. Light pink and coral beads intersperse with the spring green spheres. The red teardrops bring almost an iridescent glow in contrast to the little brown beads at their bases. Contrast is the word for this bracelet - red and green, diamonds and circles, flat and round. I'd call it heavier and sharper compared to other flowery bracelet. Which one do you like better?

I think I probably would have to choose the one with hearts. The green and pink go wonderfully together on both of them!
I like the flowery bracelet better because the flower beads are so detailed.
