I'm a slightly obsessed...

It's true, they are on everything that I have been making lately. Lucky for you all, I'm going to share my obsession with you. Warning though, they are addicting. I'm not really sure what a good name for these would be. I think I'll call them 3 dimensional pinwheel flowers. Why? Just because that is what they remind me of. With the little flap of each petal being folded up that is what they kind of look like to me.

Here is a card that I made earlier today featuring one of these flowers (made entirely with Kitchen Spice)...

I'd love to see what you all do with your flowers! Thanks for taking a peek!

    This is fun, and addictive, as I look at the dozen pinwheel flowers that I have made. Thank you.
