This is beautiful.  It has a sparkleshimmer to it that I wasnt expecting. I bought the lighter blue version to go with some huge pale blue velvet pillows.  I ordered it about a month and a half ago but Im moving and wasnt going to open it til I moved but Im trying to order another pillow and figured Id better see what it looks like! The pale blue tends to shade a bit toward green or aqua but itll work where I need it to. I can recommend this pillow. The shimmer is special!
