Well, I would radiate the scales outwards (think center of daisy) on the breast cups. Carrying the texture across hill and dale, so to speak, doesn't look right. The spangle tex (from Iso's Page?) does a good job overall, though. They do look a bit metallic (I agree with Rob on this): perhaps an iridescent shimmer would add a bit more color variation AND make them a bit more organic in origin? Play with it! You are certainly on the right track. BTW, my 12th level Evoker has a sack of white dragon scales back in her tower, waiting to be made into something. :) Carolly
