Although these 2 particular images are similar, the rest of the images in the sets make each of them so distinctive, that I would be hard pressed to decide on owning only one! <br />You will love whatever you buy -- but I can guarantee you won't be sorry if you decide on both! <br />Have a great 2014!

And I instinctively chose the Happy Watercolor as my first favourite too -- but now I have been ping-ponging back and forth between the 2 images. Not sure anymore which is my fave. They are both pretty outstanding!!<br />Hope you enjoy a wonderful New Years.

That said, if I'm ...First, they are all lovely. That said, if I'm picking, I prefer the vanilla to the white. This comment will likely sound strange, put to me, the white clashes. It's too bright, almost. I'm someone who doesn't like white with Kraft/Crumb Cake, either. I know that Crumb Cake isn't gold, but it's still in that yellow-y/brownish tone. To me, that speaks to vanilla more than white. It feels more monochromatic to me. I'm not sure I'm making any sense.<br /><br />As to the images - it is a toss up. I have to say the Happy Watercolor gets my vote, though. I prefer the more free flowing flowers of that set (as in, without the lines delineating each petal).

It's funny - everyone commenting prefers the white background but the 3 people who have seen them in real life prefer the vanilla?!?
