Default Need an Opinion

This is a pattern I designed and then cut out (stack cutting two of them at once) as 12 sided snowflakes. They are 8" in dia. tip to tip. The pictures are of the same pieces I just got closer to the stacked one thats why it looks so much bigger.

Which do you think looks better:

As two seperate flakes or

When I stack the two on top of each other and off set them a bit?


All comments welcome.

I like separate better. I think the two on top of each other looks a little busy. Nice job!

Well I always sort of went against the grain. I like the 2 stacked and would love to see one in like a silver and the other in a gold tone to offset each other.
Maybe 2 shades of the same color to make one look like a shadow of the other.
Just my thoughts

I'm with Jim I like the 2 together just the way they are but 2 different colors might look cool to. but then again i'm from the dark side so my opinion might not count. lol

So far its three to two for the single. With the two tones thrown in.. Think I'll give it to the end of the week (sat). Its to close to call...


Two tones I like it...

The dark side has opinions too.....

Well, I like 'em both ways, But I'm voting for the two together. They're almost hypnotic.
Nice cutting either way!!

I like both pics, but I just don't think snowflake on the stacked pic.It would be interesting though to see what they look like with two tones.

Guess my vote don't count, as all three ways sound good. Maybe you should cut two more sets!
