Skull purse (not potholder)

This is the start of my skull purse. I am excited that it is turning out so well. It is the first image I have ever crocheted. It's way easier than intarsia with knitting but it doesn't look as clean. I hope to finish off the head tonight. I'm still debating on whether or not to make a skull on the back of the purse as well, should it be the same or should I reverse the colors? Or should I just do a black panel. The sides and straps are going to be black and red stripes. I'd love feedback.
