Very interesting. The background of the birds is light blue. Our bedroom is too--I feel like I got a customer order! One thing that worked for us is to use only a portion of the nine squares. I didn't comprehend that till I received the art order. Nine sqares was just too big. But six was perfect! It looks great! I am fine with the price, and I think that is worth pointing out to others. The extra three we can put elsewhere, or not. Still a great value.
