...is Kusudama

When I stumbled upon this tutorial for Japanese kusudama balls, I was inspired!  As individual flowers, they were the perfect (and cost effective) alternate to live flowers for each place setting at M&V's reception.  I designed two sided paper using the raspberry and damask theme, threw in some polka dots (who I have had a longstanding love affair with) and started folding away...

...and Voila!  How cute is that?  I can't wait to see how these babies look with the pink satin napkins and damask accented menu cards all laid out!
