Flower Choices to go with Ladybug Dress

These are the flowers that I made to go with the black beanie hat and yellow ladybug dress. I took the photos on a background of the actual fabric that the dress is made from so that you can get an idea of what it all looks like together. Please forgive my photography skills. When I am rich and famous, I will invest in a really nice camera. Until then, this is what you get. Choice 1: This is my personal favorite. You can't tell in this photo, but the ladybug in the center of the flower is glittery. So cute! The yellow petals on the outside don't lay completely flat, but I think that is part of the charm in this flower.
Choice 2: This is more of an orangey sunflower look. The flower has a pearl center. The yellow in the fabric is a darker yellow-orange, so flowers with a combination of yellows and orange look good with it.

Choice 3: This flower has many layers of ruffly petals. Each layer is a little darker than the last, with a big, shiny crystal in the middle. Did I mention that I love things that sparkle and shine?

Choice 4: This is an all-yellow flower for all of you orange-haters out there. There is a pearl in the center of this one as well. This flower has a combination of rounded, ruffled, and pointed petals, to keep the textures interesting.
Choice 5: Very similar to choice 2, but this one is more yellow than orange and it has that big crystal "bling" in the center.
Choice 6: I added this one because I thought I would give a more traditional "daisy" choice. This one has large daisy petals on the outside, with smaller daisy petals on the inside and the big crystal.

Flower Choices

These are the flowers that I made to go on the white hat to match the cute eyelet dress from Polka Dots and Posies. They all have a pearl in the center. Please forgive my photography skills (or lack, thereof!). The colors are not as true-to-life in these photos as they are in the professional photographs with the eyelet dress. Choice 1: This flower is white around the outside layered with pink and white petals. The inner white petals have glittery edges. The photo doesn't do it justice. It shows up better on the hat because of the different textures. Choice 2: Similar to first one, but it doesn't have the glittery white petals in the middle and the pink is slightly darker.

Choice 3: This has a light pink on the outside with the glittery white and a darker pink in the middle.


Choice 4: This one is as close to the original flower in my hat listing as I could get with the materials I had available. The outer petals are exactly like the ones in the listing and the inside layers are similar with the pearl center.

Choice 5: OK-I lied. This one doesn't have a pearl center. It has a silver metalic brad in the center. But I think the all pink flower would be cute with the white hat and white eyelet dress for Easter. I can't change the center because everything is already glued into place, but I thought I would give you this option because it is cute, too.
