I ordered these because I wanted that rustic ticking look and the photo shows the color to be White. I even ordered an additional set a day after the first order was placed. What a big disappointment when the 1st set cam and the background color was no where near White like the photo appears to be. It is a burlap color Tan. I cancelled the second set after opening this order. If you are looking for ticking print with a White background, this is not the set you want!
