"Threads" purse.

I finally finished the purse from my "threads" challenge.  I know that all of the design rules say to use odd numbers (3 or 5).  However, I like even numbers (it must be the accountant in me) and I chose to use four strands of couched cotton for the curvilinear design and four fabric covered buttons as an accent. (They are in a straight line.  The bulge of the purse makes them look crooked.)

Looks like this will be my holiday season purse. 
I am still thinking about the sheer fabric challenge and will continue to think about it while I wrap gifts and clean the house.....

Please let me know what you think.  I posted the couched fabric earlier.  Please page down to see it. All constructive comments welcome!
