Good try. But that's not an orle. This is an orle:

Re: Arms for a HOA
My mistake. I wanted a thinner border than the one you usually see used in Scottish cadency. I took the orle and just elongated it to be the border of the shield.

It's a fillet bordure (filiere in French blazonry)
My spelling of these terms may be off..

Fillet bordure is probably the best answer, though a quick look at reference books suggests that "fillet" is used with some ordinaries and the cross, but no mention is made of the bordure. Oddly Rolland's "Illustrations to the Armorial Général" which gives examples of all sorts of ordinaries, subordinaries and charges, many of them most obscure, does not include a fillet bordure/filière.

Stalins' Vocabulaire-Atlas Heraldique gives filière for the French term, with no discrete English equivalent.

Or perhaps the mantling could be per pale thusly:

Re: Arms for a HOA
What a great emblazonment, Hector. Thank you for preparing the painting.
It is what I, personally, had in mind after the original 'logo' was posted.
I know it is traditional to start the torse with the metal from the mantling.
However, may I suggest painting the torse 'blue, white, blue, green, white, green' to include more blue and to 'balance' the torse with the 'per pale' mantling?
All the best,
Iain Boyd

Re: Arms for a HOA
Ian has a good idea re: having a three-color wreath. .
Other more traditional variants along that line might be white-green-blue repeated.
Or white-blue-green repeated.
And you could experiment with the parted mantling - maybe switching the blue & green
Just possible experiments

Re: Arms for a HOA
Iain and Michael,
here are some updated versions, one with each possible torse option (two sets of tincture-metal-tincture and a traditional metal-tincture-tincture).
