I purchased 3 packs. The color is beautiful, the sequined texture shines perfectly!! A true vibrant orange. They are thick and durable. Very little shedding of the sequins.I did not notice any odd smell.Im using them for a curtain project and they withstood a lot of moving and pulling.The seller includes a really sweet note thanking you as a buyer for choosing them, along with a small package of loose artificial rose petals in each package!
