3 Simple Flower Designs....

Today, I worked on 3 cute flower designs that can be used in a multiple of ways - napkin rings, on a headband/hat, on a hair clip, pin to a summer dress/top, put on a wreath...you can basically pin/attach it to anything to add a little flare/color.  Each flower uses very little yarn.
