Hand Applique Needleturn Red Cardinal Bird

This is a block that I needleturn appliqued a few months ago. I'm just not sure of which type project to use it in. I would love to have your VOTE. (see the upper left side of my blog to vote)
Would it look great on the flap of a messenger bag?

Should I make a mini quilt with it?

Should I applique it to a tote bag?

Can you notice the difference in the color of the wing and the birds' body??

I guess I'm full of questions on this one.
