The changes: I used Turquoise instead of Julep for the background piece, omitted the sequins/beads on the gem, changed the French knots on the right/left decorations to a true green, and used pink instead of white for the gem embroidery. 
I can let this go now and focus on my goose for June! My first goose, anyway. LOL Argh. I have updated the color guide on mmmcrafts dot com.
