thank you so much for the "lots of petals" lotus flower tutorial! i'm making a bouquet of origami flowers for my boyfriend for valentine's day (which is tomorrow!) but couldn't find any well-instructed videos. this was perfect! since he's a musician, i plan on using sheet music instead of red paper, but this was so amazingly helpful! please keep on posting origami videos! you saved my valentine's day :)
