I made the top flower for my Mom one Christmas out of these gorgeous, deep red, silver-lined beads. They were really great beads, a great color. So I made this pseudo-poinsettia out of them and attached a green leaf (which were also this really fun shade of green that I liked). It turned out really nice. And the second row is a fantasy poinsettia that I made for my Dad the next Christmas. I used some of those nice silver-lined beads from the year before along with some bicones and smaller seed beads. Another nice flower.
