"Happiness held is the seed; happiness shared is the flower."

This was a lesson in following instructions - I've built similar things and assumed I had a better way to do go about things. Then about halfway through the first lily pad I realized there was good purpose to the way they were doing things. The back leaf is much cleaner/rounder.
Unless I already have something in mind, I will (try to) take a basic picture including purple pig, and then if I have the time and feel inspired, I'll try something more fun. (Paint me like one of your French girls..) That could be playing with the balloon setting, or using the image as a writing prompt.
Let's see ... lily flowers, monster lilies, something living on them? Underneath? How about a caterpillar-like insect that eats the leaf, kind of a struggle to stay afloat and eat enough to cocoon? .. or maybe there are two and it's a mating ritual to eat the leaf in a certain pattern? .. and like the lily is the opened cocoon? Nah ... I better go work on the image.
