I like this tree skirt - it goes with the rustic touches in our house. When I first pulled it out of the package, the ruffle looked distinctly blush. In the daytime, it looks cream colored as shown, but in the evening light, it definitely has a pink tinge to it. It's not bad enough that I'd want to send it back, but a little surprising. I also had to spend an hour ironing the ruffle to get it to look presentable, which was annoying (tried throwing it in the dryer for 40 minutes first, but that didn't do much).
