I wanted a cottage look to my master bedroom.  The background is more of a buttery yellow, the roses are red.  My bed is a king sized.  It would have been nice if there was a few extra inches on both sides.  I bought the dust ruffle but the cover still leaves a few inches short of covering the mattress.  I will keep the set and dust ruffle although the size is short.  This king would fit nicely on a queen bed as the picture shows.  King pillows fill the shams nicely and the throw pillows are nicely filled.
