Jane's rose

Earlier this year Jane sent me a lovely selection of her handmade buttons, including some of these beautiful tiny roses. I have been hoarding them ever since, waiting for just the right project. I made one of these popular scalloped circle flowers using music paper, and I thought her rose looked perfect at its center.

I'll be honest, i'm usually not crazy about those scalloped circle flowers.... but you made yours work so well! It's one of the best I've seen! :)
I really like how you used music sheets! So elegant! LoL... I think I will have to try making one soon!
