Love this rug! Took me forever to choose one as I needed reds, blues and creme colors.  I was afraid it was going to be too floral for me but it is a perfect fit and ads so much color to my living area. I chose the 9x12.  There is alot of tan worked in with the red so it breaks the red up.  I added the pad and glad I did. Everyone who has seen it loves it too.  Just need pillows now. A shopping I go!
