The challenge over at Less is More this week is to use paper piecing on a card and this I came up with a flower power bug

I had trouble with the lights because I wanted them to be shiny brake lights instead of clear headlights and I didn't have an appropriate gem. To get round this I punched a circle of pink card and stuck it on the lights before adding a dome of glossy accents. I wasn't sure if the pink would show through the clear dome but it turned out quite well:-
Do pop over and see the great inspiration on the LIM blog and thanks for looking.

Super card, Carol. Love your paper piecing, and how you created your lights.
If you have Pro Markers and clear gems, you can colour them to match x
