Marigolds should be spaced apart about a foot and a half to allow for growth. They tend to be very bushy.
Dusty Millers are the same way and will need alot of space. I have never had the problem of dusty millers taking over either. I would plant the dusty millers in front of the marigolds, because the marigolds tend to be taller.

Both Carol and Kathy have given you very good pointers: Watch out for dusty miller taking over and marigolds can be planted directly to the garden and most can be planted close together and do well. These two ladies are true gardeners.
The only other recommendation I could make is to use dusty miller as an accent plant or for edging (if you have the dwarf variety). Marigolds are the ones that are going to give you a blaze of late summer/fall color. The dusty miller brings attention to that bright orange/yellow color scheme to your garden. Same way it does to other bright flowers, like red geraniums.

I am not sure where you live, but in areas that go through a cold winter you are too late in the season to plant annuals. An annual is a plant that grows, flowers, sets seed in one year and then usually does not come back the next spring. Best idea would be to save your seeds untill around March. Then you can start those seeds in little peat pots inside under grow lights. Go to your local Cornell Cooperative Extension or to gardenweb.com to learn all about how to do anything with seeds and plants. You can ask any specific question about starting seeds there. Happy gardening!!

Marigolds you can grow them close together, but I would not plant dust miller close to your other plants like marigolds as they have a tendency to take over your garden area...
