FLOWER MOTIFS
TIP
Color can make or break motifs, especially flowers.
You need to try a combination of light and bold
colors to see if they add to or take away from a
flower’s beauty. One easy tip is to use your boldest
color on the round that you really want to pop out
at you, and use more muted colors on simpler
rounds. Look through the flowers and see how the
color changes the motif enough to almost look like
a different one altogether.
