Hello everyone,
I am brand new here and wanted to say hi. I just got my K2 yesterday so this is a whole new world for me! I ordered the Oberon cover in Dragonfly/Pond, sky blue and was searching out a compatible skin.
Was leaning towards the Moon Fairy. Any other suggestions are welcome! Come on you enablers....what do you think??
TIA!
Already saved some of the fairy/butterfly screensavers to my pc, but a bit scared to mess with the system just yet. ;-)

It can be really hard choosing a skin since there are so many. Do you like cartoons, abstract, animals, or what? Maybe if you could narrow it down to three or four favorites you'd have an easier time.

All three are beautiful, but I love the third one. In fact, that's the one I'm going to get next unless something prettier comes along. I think any one of them would go with your cover. I don't worry too much about matching the cover because when it's open you only see the skin and when it's closed you only see the cover and besides I'm a failure at matching colors. Or so my children tell me whenever I wear my plum colored slacks and my blue sweater.

Welcome to KB. Good luck deciding on your skin. That decision was harder for me than deciding on getting a Kindle in the first place.

 Thank you for the welcome! I look forward to getting to know all of you. I am really a pink and brown girl, love that combo and I've seen some gorgeous pink/brown skins, unfortunately the Dragonfly/Pond cover doesn't come in brown.  I am still undecided however I think I've ruled out the middle one now. Thanks again for your help!

The Bayou Sunset one was in my top 10 selection when I bought a skin, so that's my choice for you. I saved the large versions of the images in a folder and then went through the images one by one. If a skin didn't "speak" to me loudly enough, I deleted the image. I narrowed it down to three, asked for opinions and everyone agreed that the one I liked best was indeed very much "me".
It's a tough choice, but so much fun!

Oh my goodness! Thank you so much for taking the time to post those pictures correctly for me. It helped so much to see them all on one page AND next to my cover (which has shipped I might add! So excited!!!). I am being pulled towards the first one especially seeing it side by side! (moon fairy) BUT....I also am really liking the last one that you suggested now too. Decisions, decisions...  No problem - glad to help! |

The only problem with the first one is that none of the big stuff on the design shows on the Kindle front. Too bad they couldn't move stuff over.

I wish her Dragon Fly ones were available for the K2, like this one: So cute! Well, you can always have them do a custom skin for the Kindle, by going to the design page then picking from the drop-down. 908tracy, maybe it's just because I really like simple designs, but seeing them next to each other, I really like the 2nd design (with the flowers and swirls) combined with the Dragonfly cover. And I'm very jealous, that's one of my favorite Oberon covers. But I change covers so often I just can't justify the expense of one yet. |

Huh, doesn't work for me - thought it wasn't available for K2 - says "undefined". Also, when on the K2 page and do the left-hand drop down to Anna's designs the "Dragon Fly Pink" doesn't come up. Does it for you? Can you provide a link (so my computer can get a clue)?  |

True ... but, for some reason on this design it doesn't bother me. Maybe it's because the entire main design is missing (I don't like it when part is there and part isn't), so it doesn't look cut off ... and also because I think the rest of the design, with the dragonflies and such, is pretty enough and "busy" enough to stand on its own. |

Excellent choice! When I first saw this one, here on this thread, I couldn't believe what an awesome match it was. Can't wait to see it in action!
