Would you paint these?

I have done salt dough ornaments in the past and we painted them and sealed them.  I did some with my LOs hand and foot prints and I am trying to decide if I should leave them as is and just seal them OR if I should paint them a solid color (white?) and then seal them.  WWYD?

I would personally paint the hands a feet a color (green, yellow, blue, whatever flats your fancy) and then seal them.

I think they look nice all one color as opposed to multiple colors on each ornament. 

I kind of like them natural (w/sealer), but I think if you used a pearlized paint it might make them look kind of like they were clay that was fired and glazed, and that could be really pretty.

Ooh!  I hadn't thought about pearlized paint.  That might work too! 

TBH, this is the second batch I did.  The first dough wasn't the right consistency, but I did them anyway and painted them white. I thought I would try again last night and I like these a lot better.  I wasn't loving the all painted white look, so that is why I am trying to figure out what is best for this batch.
