One of my favorite summer flowers is the hydrangea.

Its colors range from pink to purple to blue hued bunches. Those shapes and colors inspired me to create a flower-flake wreath of color for the 7200 Rehab Gym door for the summer. This time I'm including a step-by-step series of images of the layers I used. There is a small blue butterfly hidden in this one. Can you find it in the final image? You may need to click on the photo to enlarge it. Have fun.

some purple connective tissue joined the layers together:

and some lighter colors balanced out the hues:

some frilly things added texture to shapes:

and I had to hide something, so I used the butterfly sticker I had handy:
