The patterned side had flowers in pastel shades all over it- very pretty... and just too pretty to non-chalantly throw in the scrap bin. Since I was actually MAKING a project that was pastel-coloured (unusual for me!)... 1. I decided to cut out the flowers and see where that led! 2. I cut out some pretty flowers.... 3.
