Arduino Lily Pad and FLORA RBG NeoPixels

I have sewn 8 NEOPixels to fabric coming off of one pin on Lily Pad. I have also sewn the ground and power (different pins) with conductive thread. As far as my code I am getting an error message "green led was not declared in this scope" see below

int greenLEDPin=3; // Declaring greenLEDPin as an int, and set it to 3
int redOnTime=900; // This is the red LED ontime
int redOffTime= 400; // This is the red LED offtime
int greenOnTime=900; // This is greenLED ontime
int greenOffTime=400; // This is green LED offtime
int blueOnTime=900; // This is blue LED ontime
int blueOffTime=400; // This is blue LED offtime
int redLEDPin=3; // Declaring redLEDPin as an int, and set it to 3
int blueLEDPin=3; // Declaring blueLEDPin as an int and set it to 3

void setup() {

pinMode(greenLED,OUTPUT);
pinMode(redLED,OUTPUT);
pinMode(blueLED,OUTPUT);

}

void loop() {
digitalWrite(redLED,HIGH); // Turn the red LED on
delay(redOnTime);
digitalWrite(redLED,LOW);
delay(redOffTime);
digitalWrite(greenLED,HIGH);
delay(greenOnTime);
digitalWrite(greenLED,LOW);
delay(greenOffTime);
digitalWrite(blueLED,HIGH);
delay(blueOnTime);
digitalWrite(blueLED,LOW);
delay(blueOffTime);

}

Still learning. Not sure if this is correct? Any help is welcomed.

If you are really using NEOPixels, this code can not be used to control it (even without erros).
Controling NEOPixels works quite different.
Take a look at the tutorials on the adafruit webpage and learn how to control NEOPixels - here are some (and there are many more):

If you are using "normal" sewable LEDs instead of NEOPixels, you need an individual pin for every LED and the code should look more like this:

int greenLEDPin = 3;  
int redLEDPin   = 4;
int blueLEDPin  = 5;  

int redOnTime    = 900;  // This is the red  LED ontime
int redOffTime   = 400;  
int greenOnTime  = 900;
int greenOffTime = 400; 
int blueOnTime   = 900; 
int blueOffTime  = 400;  

void setup() {
  pinMode(greenLEDPin, OUTPUT);
  pinMode(redLEDPin,   OUTPUT);
  pinMode(blueLEDPin,  OUTPUT);
}

void loop() {
  digitalWrite(redLEDPin, HIGH); // Turn the red LED on
  delay(redOnTime);
  digitalWrite(redLEDPin, LOW);
  delay(redOffTime);
  digitalWrite(greenLEDPin, HIGH);
  delay(greenOnTime);
  digitalWrite(greenLEDPin, LOW);
  delay(greenOffTime);
  digitalWrite(blueLEDPin, HIGH);
  delay(blueOnTime);
  digitalWrite(blueLEDPin, LOW);
  delay(blueOffTime);
}

You have to use the same names for variables all the time, but not "redLEDPin" in the beginning and "redLED" later.
But as mentioned earlier, this code will not work with NEOPixels, but with normal LEDs only.

Thanks so much. Will work on it.

Yes, NEO pixels with Arduino Lily Pad. I did have FLORA but I was getting confused with the 6 and 9 pins so I changed to LilyPad.
