...aaaaaaaaaand 72% of you voted that I should use layout A, which only includes the name boxes, leaving out the original template's tagline.
Here's what I've done today:
Sketch!
Inks!
Horrible colors!
Oh, wow.
Yeah.
Coloring is not my forté. That's why Matt colors OJST. Also, some of my embroidery floss colors are running low and it's not exactly easy to go get more right now, soooooooo...
GRAYSCALE.
I tweaked some of the tones to make them contrast better and then I tried out a couple different solid-color overlays on top.
Surprising no one, I preferred the pink version.
Oh wait.
Literally just this minute I realized the bottom text would look better if it were right-side-up. Shit.
Ok. I'm gunna go try to make that work (HOW HARD COULD IT BE) and then I'll print out the line work onto dissolvable transfer paper that I then stick to my fabric so that I can embroider directly on top of my lines.
I'll update you when I've got anything worth sharing!

The reason is because I don't know how to use the vector shape tool 😭I made a circle and then used the text tool on it, which was fine for the top half but... upside-down for the bottom. I've now gone back and manually made little path segments with the pen tool to make the text path, but they don't have the exact right curve 😬Hopefully it's close enough that nobody notices!
