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.

Thanks for the comments. glad you were able to make one.  See step six of the instructable How to make paper roses to see how to roll the inner petals. Cut several pieces and practice....two or three times you should be an expert! Cman

curve it by rolling a pencil?

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.
