You can use fusible interfacing if you want. The fusible side goes next to the right side of the fabric when you sew the circles together (DO NOT IRON), when turned, it will fuse the circle to the backing.

I've seen that interfacing method, and I wonder if the interfacing side would show at all where it's going to be on top of the already-put-down petals?
I'm thinking the little baby yo-yos would be precious on this!
Your applique looks lovely by the way.

I save my used dryer sheets, draw a circle on it using a cd, cup, medicine bottle cap or anything that will give you the size you want. Lay it on top of your right-side-up fabric, sew along the line, snip the edges, cut a slit into the dryer sheet and bring your fabric through the slit. Use a stilleto to flatten the edges and you're all set.
