feeling like spring

Weather is warming up and it's feeling more and more like spring! I found these paper flowers cut-outs in the back of my craft closest. I paired a solid flower with a patterned flower, then took some acrylic craft beads to form the center. I used some of these to make some birthday and thank you cards.

Ok, so the nerd inside me came out eventually... as I was putting these paper flower together, information and pictures from my 7th grade plant biology class started popping in to my mind. I couldn't recall what some parts of the plant structures were call and so I had to look it up online. It turns out the paper flowers I have created are so simple in comparison to the real flower.
