Dog and Cat Pattern - Perrrrfect

Look at this pattern, this is a very old Classic print that I bet many of your have seen before?

I have seen this pattern hooked several different ways, a local hooker brought this one in and we are trying to decide the color of the background so as to not wash out the dog and cat on the print. I think the balance of the blue on the side bar, the cats bow and on the ball really make this pattern stand out. Great Job Grace.
