Beaded Gas Tank Cover

I'm still trying to decide how to put my beaded motorcycle together. So, in the meantime, I stitched on some bright orange beads! Everyone seemed to like that idea, so I figured I'd try it. This colour compliments the copper-lined transparent blue beads very well. I used 3 different shades of size 11 orange Czech glass seed beads. I'm not finished with this colour yet, but it's getting there! How do you think it looks so far? :D

The orange is great! My inclination would have been red - boring and predictable.
