Butterflies!

I'm working on a new series of cross-stitch patterns. All butterflies.
Here's the first one that I've completed.

There are 9 in the set, but I only plan on doing 4 or 5 of them. I'm not sure what I'm going to end up making out of them. But they were so pretty and "spring like" that I just couldn't resist. Also, they are done with full cross stitch only... no backstitch, no 1/2 stitches, no french knots or other fancy things. So, they are simple and easy to stitch, which I find very relaxing.

If you are interested in the patterns, they came in the magazine "Britain's No.1 CrossStitcher" Issue #236 March 2011.
I'll post pics of the rest of them as I get them completed.
