undecided

Unfinished bookplates designs, help please, should I continue with the top or bottom one?

added 3/20: many many thanks everyone for your feedback. I began this with the bottom design, abandoned it and had decided to take the top one to final when I looked back at the original weeks later and reconsidered. The comments that are missing for the top design are "lively", "fluid", "happy" and "enhanced" and I think now that I see I like the tight design of the top one but the "feel" of the original wagging tail one is drawing me back to it so I think that's the way I'll go. Thanks again for your help and comments!
