Flower Spray

This little card is indeed based on the ‘little’. The biggest flower here is about a 50p-sized coin. The petals are quite a challenge to do if you do not have small enough fingers.

This activity can be a good ‘workout’ for those with patience problems. The visual rewards, however, once it is completed, is divine. (For me, anyway).
