I am terrible at design and color matching. The letters are going to say "Hoppy Spring" and they will be pretty large.

My DD thinks white, I was leaning towards white letters with pink and yellow outlines...

I need some help.

I think your idea of white with pink and yellow outline will work fine. Goodluck! thumbs_up.gif

I'd alternate between yellow, pink and white.

You could do a thicker line in white and a thinner line inside that with a pink or yellow. Like a layering effect.

I'm with Wgoat, the white outline would really make the pink and yellow pop against the dark green background.

The same pink, yellow, and white you already have on your cake would look great on the top. Love the bunnies!

I'm kinda siding with your DD...unless you match the pink and yellow perfectly, I think it will detract from your clean crisp look-you know the "less is more" theory-anyway, maybe I'm over analyzing, but I think the white letters would look the best
JMHO-probably less than 2 cents worth icon_wink.gif
