Wasn't fully sure about this until I put it on the bed - the overall impression is the colours seem muted until it's in situ, I think it's because the pattern repeat is large so there's a lot of background. Happy with it now, though it'd be nice to have maybe a bird's head peeping round the edge on the pillowcases instead of just foliage but bought a peacock cushion to address that. Description says button closure in overview but envelope in specification - was pleased to find out it's definitely a button closure.
