Oke Graham,
Normally I look at a design and then I know how it's been created, but......not this time!  :o
I already thought that I would ask you the instructions at TMJ in november, when I saw those flowers the first time.
But now you made is as a challenge.... :x

So, I'll take this months challenge and jump into this design. Give me some days,........ :roll:

I should have looked better, I looked at the first picture of the flowers and suddenly saw that it wasn't as hard as I thought it would be.
I created 2 variations. My first attempt was the yellow/red one, the second one is made a little different.

My 7 year old daughter tried it also, but she thought it was to hard.
So she made a simple flower for me, becourse I did it:

It's a bit uncanny that Petra & Roger made the flower out of exactly the same colours, you should both start a mind-reading act  :D

Hihi,.... only I used neon green,  but that was becourse I have not much lime green anymore, so I wanted to keep those  :lol:

I played even more with the flower design. I like it a lot.
Made a variation with just 1 160 for the flower, that gives a nice effect also.
Like all those things, it's easy when you know how!  :lol:

Do we get to see the 160 flower? or is it a secret ;)

:lol: Nope not all the things I  make remain a secret,....only the butterfly  :lol:

The 160 version looks a lot like the other one's so it iss'nt real special.
Didn't you already tried that also?
Here it is:

Lucky for me, I had a balloon delivery to make up so I added this month's challenge to it. I like a mish-mash of different flowers so I didn't copy over the entire piece as made in the original post - I just made the flower that seemed to be highlighted.

The string of ladybugs is an idea by Patrick, I've added them while line twisting if it's reasonable slow and someone asks for a flower.

First try, made from 5 balloons. No sense of colour. Those pinks are precious to me, so I never use for practice or jamming.
