we're getting there, Larry! I think the brown marble is a winner. Sticking to honey tones brings it all together really well. And there's now lots of shiny! Thank you!
Colors need to be adjusted to blend better, but the idea is there.

I'm not sure about the bees flying upside down, though - they're doing aerial acrobatics! I think it'd look better to have them all at the orientation of the 11 o'clock bee - hoping that rotating them is a simple operation.
You're thinking of the design as it is seen on your computer screen. I'm using Yeesha's monogram as the source example, since that's the only monogram with a rosette around it in the game. Her monogram is radial; all of the elements are aligned outwards from the center circle.
In other words, imagine that the design is the floor of a circular room, and you are standing in the center. As you turn in place, everything you look at should seem to face you. An adjustment I need to make is to arrange the containers so that they all have a base facing the center.
Also, there's symbolism in the way I have the bees arranged now. If the acorn can be said to represent you, it describes what they do. They are flying to a flower to collect nectar for honey, and bringing it back to you.

And might a white camellia rather than a pink one harmonise better with these colours?
Thank you SO much for all your design work!
I need to find better images for the acorn and the flower anyway. Those two are too much like photographs instead of drawings, even though they are not.
I also need to tone down the background of the containers; that metallic color stands out too much against the colors of the rosette.
I repeat: Still much to be done.
