"I persevered doing it and I didn't rush so that's how my work came out." Gregory.

"I looked carefully just to get the detail. I was inspired by  'Austin's Butterfly' ." Casey.

" I looked at the design of the flower carefully so I could get the detail." Caitlyn.

"I did a second draft, like in "Austin's Butterfly." Jessie.

"I thought about the colours on the petals to make the flowers look realistic." Bianka
