Old zebra kencor UL

Hello to you guys. I recently came across a couple of old orange and black zebra kencor blanks. I am having a more experienced rod builder build these for me. That being said, I want to have a 2 dollar bill inlayed either on the bottom portion of a split grip, or just above the foregrip where traditionally a decorative wrap will go. Some of you guys know what the blank looks like, it is the tenlew magniglas orange with a black twist up the blank. I am terrible when it comes to color combinations, so in my mind there is no way to incorporate green dollar bills or a green black and orange tiger wrap to an already black and orange blank.

What ideas of color combinations do you guys think would work on this particular blank. I already had the 5footer wrapped and blue black white and silver metallic came out sweet. I never would have picked those colors but they look awesome.

Lets say the only thing I definately want is a 2 dollar bill inlayed, and green burl incorporated into the handle. What colors should I look into for a possible tiger wrap, and guide wraps on an orange and black swirled blank with a 2 dollar bill inlay?

Thanks for your brainstorms guys. I dont want to mess this one up, because as you know, there arent really any more kencor blanks out there. Espcially the original zebras in ultralight. Thanks again.

That is the first one. Like I said, I never would that thought those colors worked but I think it cam out great. The handle hadnt been finished in that pic, but thats how it was stacked. I think it came out awesome.
