Awesome...I love two color tubes.

I really like the blue highlight on the black. I'm going to have to give that a try.

Thanks guys!  I only made one shot of the tube and worms as a prototype, I was just finishing up for the day and decided to give it a try.  I could have dipped the tube in the darker color as well, but didn't want to lose the ribs in this case.  The seam between the 2 colors seems good.  Sent the tube for testing today.  :)  couldn't go myself as I have too much to do.  I'll try to get a good pic of the worms in a bit.  This pic was with my iPod so not real stunning.
