Here I have adapted the shape of the pointed petal to be a bit fatter, and instead of curling the petal with a teaspoon handle (or shaping tool!) I used my needle tool (darning needle) to add veining on each side of the centre crease to look more like a poinsettia.

This veining also makes the petal curve up at the sides, and there is quite a bit of height to this flower. I added an extra green layer at the back to make the leaves. I glued in 7 tiny pearl beads for the centre instead of the rolled fringed paper strip. The backing paper is again one designed by Carol which has been matted onto a piece of the same green paper used for the leaves.
