I like the species and the two colors work okayish. The embedded XO  
now is almost bearable esthetically. I'd still soften the lower corner  
(make the right angle round like on the sides). Also the thin orange  
border seems a bit unnecessary and out of place. And I dont't like the  
fingers only on one side, but have no good suggestion on how to  
improve tat.

But overall it's adorable :)
