twelve petal flower

Hi everyone,

I made a twelve petal flower. I used five different colors for the rounds. The green and the white were two pieces of scrap yarn I had and it was enough to get three rounds done. I used black for the fourth round. Varigated blue for the fifth round, and gold for the hanger. I knew I was going to use the green(sage) and white but for the other three colors I had no idea. For the other three colors I just grabbed the first color my hand came to.
