    Good eye, thanks! I think that's what was bothering me. Maybe replace the reds with something coser to the darker parchment colors from the cartouche and rose?

    Perhaps. I was actually looking at the mermaid in the rose and thinking you could try to match some of those colors. It wouldn't take too much tweaking to get close to that salmon color in her hair. A little desaturation, lightening, and perhaps just a touch of noise to match the pastels look.

    Post Something Like This?

    I think this is better - is it something like what you were talking about? I'm not really very good with Photoshop. I ended up sampling the color, filling the area, and then applying a sponge effect.
