Beautiful pattern, nice, tough paper - my only complaint is the pattern is printed on a semi-dark shade of paper - it would be much easier to read on white paper - or at least a light-colored paper. It also calls for a few types of non-standard, non-DMC threads - and doesn't give equivalents, so I'm going to have to fake my way through that part. (Some of the flowers on the border are done in "CARON Waterlilies Overdyed Silk" of a few different colors.)
