The design is asymmetrical, reflecting on the random nature of the leaves.<div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/6907044368295388379-5163322917195087051?l=contemporaryandneedlelace.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>Louise Westhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03209061681561231950noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6907044368295388379.post-56737669113359767102009-08-14T09:11:00.000-07:002009-08-14T09:13:07.836-07:00<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_ixZQg_zVASI/SoWNBr_ePSI/AAAAAAAAA_E/zU8tCB5m-xI/s1600-h/IMGP0790.JPG"><img style="margin: 0pt 10px 10px 0pt;
