Practically Poinsettia

[sakon76]

For the current embroidery project I've been going in colors, roughly working from the outer edges of each design toward the center, on the theory that the stuff in the center is "above" the outer motifs. I've gotten the leaves and the little side flowers all done, all the green and purple and yellow out of the way, excepting for the heart of those central flowers, which I'll do last. Last night I started on the petals of those central flowers, which are in a red-salmon-peach colorway.

Except the red is much brighter than in the picture.

But it's what came with the kit, so I'm going for it. It's just... very red.
