I like #6 too
If we're going for #3 for the home page and #6 goes well with that for mess=
ages

Looking back at all the images I personally like #2 + #4 better ...
the white background I feel breathes nicely and feels lighter. Also #2
has more round edges than the other options .. overall feels softer
...just a personal preference though


Thanks of getting this done Anne,
With regards,
Mrinal
