Butterfly worked in no. 20 thread on button

Butterfly worked in new Finca Bolillos no. 20 thread on SCMR

The first butterfly is made on a button and the other is almost the same but replacing the button with a Self Closing Mock Ring.  The second one has more beads.  They can both be made using one or two colours which means a slight variation for the last ring worked.
