Poinsettia Center Variation:

Repeat insructions for Poinsettia Center above using Hunter Green instead of Yellow. Using Yellow for "Pollen", thread tapestry needle with yarn and whip stitch around the first round, coming up through the center and back down between rounds 1 and 2, until you have worked around the center. Continue by making french knots where desired around the Poinsettia Center.
