Western Publishing chose to sell identical paper doll sets in different years by having different covers. The Western Fun/Home Pretty Barbie is the third example of these twin sets that I own.
A paper doll folder featuring a drawing of Western Fun Barbie on the cover is dated 1990 and has stock number 1502. A second folder featuring a photo of Home Pretty Barbie is dated both 1990 and 1991 and has stock number 1502-2. The Western Fun set has a deep salmon colored background while Home Pretty is yellow.
Inside contents are the same. The doll is Western Fun in a strapless swimsuit derived from her Western Fun outfit. Some of the outfits are from the Western Fun, Costume Ball and Dinner Date lines.

| On the left is the folder dated 1990 and the one on the right is dated 1991. |

| I love the background around the paper doll. |
 |
| The outfit on the lower right is the original outfit for Home Pretty Barbie. |

| The yellow background is much more attractive than the dark pink. |
