Kyle,
Very nice rendering, and it holds up fine when examined large.  I 
wouldn't worry unless an attractive alternative comes your way at your 
price point. :-)

The Handmaid’s Tale takes place in the future where most people are sterile. It’s a classic work of feminism and science fiction and a source, I’m told, of great Canadian Pride.
