The white one is more peaceful. The darker one was creepy looking.
Now that you say this, it does look a bit creepy. I guess I like it because it stands out (not sure if this is the right word) in the white background of the page.

I have absolutely no idea about the spirit of Thanksgiving, so what you're saying may be true
