I bought this in red to accent the reds in my living room.  There are two patio doors, so I combined each pair of red panels with plain white sheers, and it works great - provides sufficient light in, while framing the window in my accent color.  These definitely needed a good ironing prior to hanging, and I was surprised to see that some of the flower/butterfly things are 3D.  At first I thought that was weird, but you know what?  It gives the curtains a lot more punch!  Really a great find; just enough of a white contrast on it to break up the red, but not a whole lot of distracting pattern to it.  Love them!!!
