    Maybe a fine satin stitch in a brown metallic around the butterfly and the blue square------------and metallic feelers

    Not to be too picky, but the blue square "LOOKS" like it's just laid on the yellow. Maybe a blanket stitch or narrow satin stitch or even a simple running stitch in brown like the tiny border.

    How about tiny tiny gems... Like swaraoski crystals small but very sparkly.
