2. Let's bring them back into a flower mood by colorizing additional motifs with a contrast color (right).
3. Love bubble and flower layouts? Make them even more bubble-ish and flower-ish! This layout is much more complex; each flower motif uses four different colors for each "petal" section to create an illusion of colorful bubbles (left).
4. Poppies? Why not! Colorize each flower motif with bright colors and use black and light green colors for the center square and the first round of squares (right).
