While I don’t have it, so don’t know how it sets up, I love the looks of LTTRRR’s “New Critter”:

It’s just so happy.

Antique Olive.
Extension or Lesmore (by Usherwood, from Red Rooster)
Maybe try some agate faces?

Yeah, what David asked.

But just to throw out my fav: FF Quadraat Headliner.
Looking at that you get a pretty good grasp of what
