    I started off making a couple of pink shamrocks (bottom left in 1st pic) after seeing yours Philip and look at what I ended up making!! :rolleyes: So you see it IS all your fault for giving me the inspiration in the first place. ;)

    Do you think I'm maybe becoming obsessed with paper flower making?

    Oh, good, now some one else is an enabler, not just me.

    Those are stupendous!!!! So perfectly drawn and colored and detailed. What you can do with paper and paint is amazing.

    Wow, they look so real and it's all Philips fault? They must be like potato chips, we all know you can't eat just one chip so, "you can't make just one flower." Now, how do you use them?

    Oh, sure, blame it on poor, innocent Philip! Just because you are artistic and clever and able to make beautiful paper flowers, you have to drag Philip into it. He was the source of inspiration, but you did the artistry!

    Eils, why are you trying to pass off these real flowers as paper flowers? :p

    Really cool!

    Those are just so beautiful and life-like. I wish I had a talent like that.

    Beautiful Eileen - who wouldn't love to receive a card decorated with those. And Kildale, your wife's work is beautiful as well.
