I just made one of these for my Girl, and I have to say it turned out absolutely wonderful.  I laid it in a bed of white tissue paper, and adorned it with Heart-shaped Reese's cups, Her favorite.

I just have one Question, Though:  How do you curl the petals of your roses so well?  I've been making them since you first posted your wonderful paper flower tutorial, and I can never seem to get them to curl right.  Do you have some trick you use?

Again, Thank you for your wonderful tutorials, These have been the first things I've made from this site in Months.

I tired that-  It never seems to work due to the way you curve the inner petals.  Maybe I'm just doing it wrong and it comes with practice, haha.
