I made these three variations  of paper flowers using this one punch. Undoubtedly there are other ways to use the tool as well.  Punch art is so versatile. The three flowers shown here each contain three punched shapes in different colors. The red one is a poinsettia. It’ll make a good embellishment for holiday cards and paper craft projects.
