The present invention is directed to an apparatus, system, and method for attaching a shade cover, of singular or multi-piece construction, to a blind, such as a window Venetian blind. An apparatus for attaching the shade cover to the window blind may include: first attachment means that is configured to attach to the shade cover, and second attachment means, that is operatively attached to the first attachment means, wherein it is also configured to attach to the window blind, rendering the shade cover and the window blind as a single monolithic operating unit. The shade cover that employs the attachment apparatus includes: one or more shade elements; a longitudinal element, such as a connecting rod, interconnected through attachment openings along the shade element(s); and a connection assembly that includes: a penannular element configured to engage with the longitudinal element and/or the shade element(s); and a substantially horizontal extension, that extends distally from a first opening on the penannular element, the substantially horizontal extension including a second opening, configured to engage with a ladder assembly of a typical Venetian blind.
