My first thought was that it looks like a pillow, so I'll say Pillow Nebula.
But I'm sure with different filters etc., it could be seen as something else entirely.

Looks like a magic carpet - I also thought it looked like a pillow - a little too much starch, however.

"Flying squirrel" is good, but .... marshmallow nebula is right-on. Just roasted some last weekend, so the image is fresh on my brain.
