Yellow, orange, and black cherry, on a Super Seeker brown blank, looks pretty sick.

Wow, that really is a sharp color combination. The shading in the (don't know what to call them) T-Birds is awesome.

That one is a real eye catcher, how much more do you increase the space for the connecting threads? I tried this once and my sparkler would not sparkle it closed up on me..

I eyeballed the spacing for the wrap. Add 2mm's, that will give you 8 threads. Careful when you pack, if you open that space up too much you could end up with a lot more space than you anticipated. If you think you got too much space in there, stat wrapping bnads of 2 or 3, nobody is goign to notice, and if the do they wont' say anything. I did 2 threads at a time for this one for the 2 boxes, the bckground x4. Thanks Doc!!
