Of the 2, I'd pick the Summer Pond. In the Clouds is a little too harsh. I'd pick something with a more painted effect instead of the immersion dye technique. Have you considered talking to Mindy and possibly getting Quicksilver or Winter Pond done on a standard (non opalescent) fabric? I think either of those would be lovely. :grin
