Folded Dahlia Flowers

I've seen these folded flowers on a number of blogs and decided it was time for me to give them a try. There is a great tutorial at The Joy of Scrapbooking.  They are really quite simple and fun to create.  You simply start with a circle punch and fold away. I experimented with different sized circles and definitely prefer the more delicate looking smaller blue flower rather than the large purple one.
