   At home centers there are decorative plastic escutcheons that are supposed to look like plaster that go around light fixtures--one of those may be large enough to cover your problem.

   Edit--IMERC had the right word for it--rosette, not escutcheon. (I also want to call them "medallions).

   a rosette from a BB in the lighting/fan departments...

    

   Life is not a journey to the grave with the intention of arriving safely in a pretty and well preserved body, but rather to skid in broadside, thoroughly used up, totally worn out, and loudly proclaiming

   WOW!!! What a Ride!

   
   Forget the primal scream, just ROAR!!!

   Get a "medallion" to put above the fixture: http://www.lightingdirect.com/index.cfm?page=search:browse&categoryID=14943

   A strong nation, like a strong person, can afford to be gentle, firm, thoughtful, and restrained. It can afford to extend a helping hand to others. It's a weak nation, like a weak person, that must behave with bluster and boasting and rashness and other signs of insecurity. --Jimmy Carter
