Kaa: part 2, Lisa Frank

Remember Lisa Frank folders from the 80s and 90s?

Accidentally went Lisa Frank on Kaa today: 

I super love the red to yellow gradation, but then I thought I was being so clever by having the base color for the spots be blue and then mixing each color's compliment. Looks a little sickly sweet.

Husband thinks that when the rest of the snake is finished it will look cool, I am not so sure. However, even if it doesn't it shouldn't be a problem. I will just make the spots all the same color. I am thinking either a really light, light blue or an almost blue black.
