She has a fair amount of dots on her dorsal, some side connected, some not. So, I definitely think that could affect the dorsal stripe of a pinstripe. Although exactly HOW it would affect it is not quite as obvious as knowing a lighter brighter normal will help produce lighter brighter pastels.
I like busy patterns, so I think those pins are gorgeous anyway. :)
Mom has a fair amount of flames. Bet that helped out the YB!
