This motif is on the bottom.  I was going for a flower look, but I don't think that's what it came out looking like.  Kind of reminds me of the sun. 


This one is for the little girls, so I'm going to work on one for the little boys today.  :)

    I go over to my youngest daughter when I am in need of a baby fix. I know why God made us to have children while we were young..so we can enjoy the grandkids...your cocoon isn't that a funny word, looks wonderful.
