Here's what I finally settled on for the background behind the Lion. I appreciate everyone's opinions. They really helped me decide what I liked and why. Almost everyone who responded had a different set of likes and dislikes, all of which look good. I just chose what I liked best personally. No beads or metallics in the background, either. I've decided to leave the skip tent background alone.
My next step is to put two rows of tent stitches all around the perimeter to aid in finishing.
