Pretty colors, awful packaging, poor value
The colors are great but they are not good value. There's only about 1600 sequins total in their package. I determined that after separating the sequins into the Darice 1992-89 Clear Bead Organizer with 12 boxes (containers). I had purchased 600 packs of sequins from another vendor and when comparing the total of one 600 pack container to a container of one color from the Craft Medley pack I determined that it was approximately one third of the amount or 200 sequins. So 8 colors yields about 1600 sequins. Pretty colors but just very poor value.The other issue as others have mentioned is the packaging. It literally took me hours to separate the sequins into separate containers (I bought all the color combos). The containers are shallow and you have to lift the lid very carefully or they all jump and spill into neighboring containers. If you are moving the sequins I'd recommend using a small teaspoon to scoop them up and transfer them. I'd prefer if these sequins were packaged in little baggies so they could just be poured into a container.I added a picture so you can compare. On the left are approximately 200 x 7mm pink sequins from one section of the Craft Medley sequins and on the right are 800 x 5mm multi-color sequins from another vendor.

Beautiful sequins but terrible packaging
I bought several different color sets of this brand of sequins. My plan is to use these for shaker cards and embellishments on paper crafts. First, they do the trick. They look nice and perform the task that I purchased them for quite nicely. That being said, the cost, as others have noted, is a little on the higher side for what you get. It costs me about $1 per card if I use them for shakers, while the amount I like to spend is closer to .30-.50. There isn’t that much in there for a good value. Lastly, I wholeheartedly agree that the packaging is a nightmare. They come 8 in a set, and if you want a few out of one square, it is an extremely difficult task to obtain. I like to store mine in either mini plastic bags or bead storage tray. When I transfer each color, it is a bit time consuming, but well worth the time. I cut each individual color square, taking care not to open them. Then I put them in a small plastic container. I use a powder tool to brush over the top and around the sequins. Then I powder the inside of the container I am transferring into, otherwise the static is pretty terrible, and they stick to everything except what I want them to stick to. Once I have powdered them, they pour fairly easily into the container of choice.

Great sets. Each color
Great sets. Each color, like blue, has every color blue, 8 different colors and hues. I ordered 8 different color sets and I am very happy with the purchase.

Orange sequins, not red.
I was hoping for RED sequins to decorate Christmas stockings, but these are orange.

and although these easily got all over the place
I used these for a craft project with my grand daughters, and although these easily got all over the place, they looked great once glued down.

Great little collection of sequin colors. I believe there are several color mix choices. I got the perfect one for me here.
