........and I "invented" it! (also made a wheel the other day.... :oops: )
I was looking for a 3D butterfly and could not find one.

I hope you like the idea and maybe someone has ideas for improvment.

as it was too much 3D to me I made the lower part as applique (part of an butterfly machine embroidery design) and for the body I added a piece of piping
