Color Throwdown #434 Meets Case This Sketch #212

Being part Irish I do send out some St. Patrick's Day cards to certain family members and this is the fourth St. Patrick's Day card I've posted so far.  My card started with the Case This Sketch #212 and the colors from the Color Throwdown--green, gold, black with neutrals.  I started with the basic card and then kept adding embellishments:

Added some shamrocks:

Added some gold sequins:

Added some tiny pearls for the sequin centers:

Which one do you like best?
