Fruit Roll Ups On Buttercream...do They Hold Up?

A friend asked me to do a replica of my Margaritaville cake for a get-together next month, but wants me to do all the accents in fruit roll ups instead of fondant. I bought a box this morning and played with one at lunch. It was easy to cut out a palm tree shape, but it now seems to be curling up on the ends.
Have any of you put fruit roll ups on buttercream? Did they hold up or look funny after a few hours? If I tried to pipe buttcream dots or lines on the fruit roll up, do you think it would stick?
If these don't work, my backup plan is to use the organic "fruit leather" bars because they are a little thicker, but then my colors won't be as bright.
I also have used them for seaweed and because I let my icing crust before I do a final smoothing before adding the details i did have to brush the back of the fruit roll up with water but it stuck beautifully, no troubles and no b leeding of any kind!
