Julia's border "ingredients" are different than those that are in my portrait border:
I needed to do differently because the color harmonies are different in Julia's portrait.
As I said back on December 22, 2020
Getting the greenish yellow element in the border was easy, as I already had the threads on hand. Getting the orangey-pink took a few trials, as my first test combos were too reddish. But obtaining the correct brown required four trials! The dark teal I'd used in my brown created a sour note. I remembered the dark bluish purple 792, which I didn't use for the background. I tried it with the dark brown 3031, and the olive 730, but that was much too dark. So I traded out the 3031 for the 830 greenish brown I'd used in my brown. I finally have a combo that 'sings' in harmony with the rest of the border, and with the background, as well.
