Very merry!
It is the kind of design you want to keep clear: either not smudge it with food, or, if you do, you eat everything from the plate to get to that beautiful design.
I like it too! If I knew how much I like colors like this and Fiestaware that Kathy mentioned when I got married I'd have a colorful set like this too-even though I do like what I have (plain white and a few colorful bowls that go with everything). Very pretty!
