The background is so beautiful! Up close it looks like a 3D effect. It was folded, so there were creases, a lot of them in fact. I ironed on the lowest setting. There were more wrinkles, but no one could see them unless I pointed them out. The pictures turned out beautifully and there were no wrinkles on them. I taped two pool noodles together and wrapped them around the backdrop after the party. He's ready to turn over for the next party. No more ironing.
