Very pretty. Love the vintage look. Saving and Sharing. Thanks!

I have the feeling they mean for us to individualize the project by finding another pre-printed butterfly to use. Just about any nice-looking colorbook image would work... and if you don't want to harm the original book, a scan or photo copy of the butterfly would work just as well.

Yes! Good Question! Where do I find the "Barbara's Butterfly Image"? Ann in ND

WHERE do you get "Barbara's buterfly image? I've seen other things on this site that use printed images (there was a fairy project), but I can't find these images anywhere! Where do I look? Thank you, Peg in Oklahoma
