Paper Art

I've done a piece that is simple but I like it, I think it's interesting and effective. I have used red paper underneath and to form a border around the white paper. I found in the end that the heavier paper of 115gsm was a bit better for cutting with my less the ideal blunt blade. I decided to do the butterfly cut out in a different way to the previous attempt and the method I have used is to effectively cut the butterfly down the middle and fold the pieces back on themselves and glue them, therefore giving them more height off the paper.
Anyway here's the piece I have made, the only thing I might change is the colour underneath I might try different ones and see what looks the best on the photographs.






I've changed the colour background and border to green and I think I prefer it, pictures below:-
