Butterflies I believe are one of the most versatile embellishments you can create! They can be made in most any color, style, or texture. They can be used to embellish greeting cards, scrapbook layouts, mixed media projects, bookmarks, or banners. I love them because they remind me of the Scripture verses about being a new creation because of how they change through several stages from an egg to butterfly. They're gorgeous creatures and make beautiful embellishments!
