Stunning little beauty (Aculepeira)

Stunning little beauty (Aculepeira)
LOL, as I walked near this plant, I noticed that one of the small "seedpods" looked a little different. Stopped to take a look, and sure enough, this absolutely gorgeous (small!) spider was curled up under the pod cluster (before it started climbing down the stem). Have searched on Google, but the closest I've come to an ID is a possible Western Spotted Orbweaver. The pattern isn't quite right, so I need to keep searching : ) Found on Howard Hornecker's beautiful prairie grassland, west of Nanton, Alberta, on 27th August. Thanks to Lynette, for the ID. Much appreciated!
