Another Star Purse

When I create a custom order purse or bag completely from scratch, I often will send along sketches or possible fabric choices to the recipient. This way, they can see what I'm working on and also can be involved in the process. It is after all, their custom bag.

When I was working on the Star Purse (I showed everyone a few weeks ago), I worked up several different shapes and styles:

In the end, we went with the top left shape with the above all over star design. But the bottom design has stuck with me, and I think I may have to make it:

I've even worked out a possible color scheme that I like:

or this:

I can't decide if I like white or yellow stars and moon. I'll play around with it, and I'm sure one or the other will jump out at me. So far, this is just using paper for the trees and stars, just to get a rough idea. I'm thinking this would be a fabulous design on the flap of a small messenger style bag. Since I need a black utilitarian bag (for knitting projects and what not), I may end up keeping this bag for myself! We'll see. I'm tossing around the idea of a robot messenger bag for myself as well, so I may have a difficult decision to make in the future.
