Here's a look at Irene's interpretation of the free Mayan Temple Pattern. She titles her tweaked version, "Blossom."

I love things like this, where people see the same thing in completely different ways!
Perception clearly is in the eye of the beholder. Blossom is beautiful. As a lover of flowers, I can’t help but be drawn to it. Plus, yellow is such a happy color.
It’s a lovely design. The colors she chose really make it look like a flower.
Isn’t it neat how we each see the same things in slightly different ways? I love the variety that sharing our perceptions with each other brings!
How beautiful and simple.
This is beautiful. AMazing how much softer it seems than the original- and the original was lovely too
I like the way the edges are softened by the color choices giving it a more realistic appearance.
I love what she did with this pattern. I always enjoy seeing your patterns come to life, Connie!
I am confused about tweeding. What tweeding look like ? Will you show me what its look like . I wait for your reply asap.
More power.
