help me?

I bought a new car a few weeks ago.
There aren't any in Australia at the moment though, so delivery has to wait until the next German build in May. In the meantime, I am struggling with the very important colour choice!
I need some advice.
There are several paint colour/interior option combinations available, but for all different reasons, it has been narrowed down to 2 choices.
This one, which I initially fell in love with, and soon after got scared by:
The coloured dash is what is freaking me out. Although it is also what excited me in the first place. I am scared that the novelty will wear off and I will soon regret going bold. I also saw one of these interiors IRL and it bothers me that the dash colour (which also appears inside the door lining) is leaning towards a brown colour and it doesn't match the rest of the door lining which is kind of burgandy or the seat covers (which are a 3rd shade altogether, more a plum) Now that is actually slightly dramatic - essentially they ARE all teh same colour (mordello apparently) but the slight difference in the different materials does annoy me.

But it's a fun concept, yeah? The coloured dash. Short of going with a crazy paint colour (not an option, as DH may need to use this for work occaisionally), it's really the only way to add some character to a stock vehicle?

Then there's my safe choice:

A blue/grey paint which I really like, and comes with the all black interior. But am I gonna be bored with this? Is this seriously dull!? Michael thinks that as a designer, I should get the one with a bit of fun. I don't know what to do??

I would love to hear your thoughts...

Playing with Cosmo Cricket again, this time for Puzzle Sketches, but you'll have to wait 'til Friday to see the whole layouts and reveal of the new pieces.
In the meantime here's a sneak peek just for fun.

bad bad blogger

I am so bad at this blogging thing!!! LOL
Been really busy. Getting heaps of work. Heaps.
But I'm trying to claw back some free (scrap) time. I have taken on a part time 'Office Manager' to help out with the admin stuff, and I decided to resign from my Wicked Princess DT spot :(
So hopefully I will have more down time as a result.
A quick share, Cosmo Cricket Girl Friday. FUN FUN FUN. I am hanging out for the gorgeous Early Bird range!
How cute is she!!!??

Check out how clever my Big Girl is too - no training wheels! Finally!
