Thanks to a great suggestion by the lovely JennyFlower I have finally cracked the butterfly-flower pieces I was having so much angst over a few days ago. She suggested I try using black felt instead of the white and it looks fab:All the colours still look really vibrant, but the black ties the flowers and butterflies together helping them look much more connected and "complete" than before and causing me to do a little happy dance. Hurrah!
Jenny has sweetly refused a thankyou freebie so instead I shall just mention that she sells her pretty corsages and clips in her Folksy shop, she ships worldwide and they are a total bargain :)

Ah they're lovely. Very summery :)
They look fab, and Jennyflower is great. She is also working hard organising the Makey Do in Sandwich on July 11th - http://amakeydo.blogspot.com/

Great suggestion, go Jenny! They do look lovely, especially the red one!
Despina, thanks for your comment, I don't want to publish the link (as I'm sure you'll understand!) but I'm looking into it!
Love these - elegant, classy and very eyecatching.
I love these. Are you making them as hairbands or pin badges?
Thanks Nic! They'll be brooches and hairbands - almost finished now, just need to get round to taking the photos! :)
