New candle scent for 2012

Working on some new scents for the new year.

This one is Bamboo Grass oh it smells wonderful!

Not sure what kind of label I want to put on it.  I have made alot of primitive labels and grubbied up jars or clear bird labels that you can find on my web site.  But wanting something different maybe.  Can go with brown labels have done that or white.  Any ideas?  Maybe gray, red or black labels!
