These look great!  Love the new frames and the scale of the larger arrangement on your wall.  I always love anything made by Cavallini Paper Company (in the past, I've blogged about using their beautiful calendars as art).

Thanks for stopping by my blog to say hello.  I understand exactly what you mean about making the ties longer (you can maybe even have them attach to the top seam of the pillow instead of the back?)  Have fun with your project!
