Steven, this is a wonderful rework on my favorite flower!! I was already so impressed with the beads on the flower when I saw the previous one and this is even more effective with the liquid-like background. Placing the flower off center makes a delicious color contrast and the circular movements are forming a complete cosmos in this image. And of course, like the first one, those sparkles are very nice touch! #4662381
