A good example, Roy.

But a pity about the one very, very slightly misplaced (slipped) red dot on the upper left wing.

Oooh! I am SO picky.  ;D

I had noticed that too, Kev and i was surprised. The one at the bottom on the other side isn't quite right either - it looks as if the spots are floating over the wings.
But it's still a butterfly weight. 8) ;D 8)

Thanks

Kevin may have a very very slight point that a red dot is 1mm out of place but Sue no red dots are floating above the wing  ;D ;D ;D ;D

It's the difficulty of representing a 3D thing in a 2D image... again. ::)
