A bouquet of peach, cream, pink and lilac peonies spills from a white porcelain vase painted with blue berries and ribbed blue stripes. Dark square frames behind the vase and clusters of ruffled petals and glossy leaves can hide the finder squares, while the blossoms and foliage carry the modules. Deep green leaves and dark blue vase motifs against pale petals and a white tabletop supply the contrast that keeps the pattern readable. Sunlight casts a soft shadow across the tabletop at the base of the vase.
