Araneus marmoreus - very likely !
Yes! I think you've got it! I looked on the web using that name and found more photos - a great one at "TrekNature" that looks very much like mine, only the back pattern is much more defined. Mine's patterning is blurry, but there IS that sort of fleur-de-lis image on it. Glad to know it's harmless 'cuz I keep forgetting it's there when I open the door and come close to walking right into it.
Thanks for the I.D.!

looks like an Orb Weaver of some type
I won't try to categorize it any further though, as I don't recognize it. Somebody on here might. Welcome to Bugguide!
