Orange Crush (Work in Progress)

One of my favorite colors is orange and if you stop by my house you'll see the proof.  I don't paint the walls, but I have splashes of orange here and there in candles, flowers and -of course- pillows.

When I saw the orange octopus quilt block available from Tuesday Rose on Etsy, well...I sent for it immediately. And now I am creating a beaded pillow of an Orange Octopus with whom I've aready developed a crush. He's very sweet and bright and colorful; and apparently he's spoken for because dangling from one tentacle is a pretty diamond ring (soon to be beaded) for his lady friend.
