Yes, I have to agree. I really liked the design.

You are welcome. Even though these are not one the most brightly colored butterflies, they are so warm and velvety hued that I think they are truly one of the most beautiful. Also, the ragged edged wings really go with the name.

It's a Mourning Cloak butterfly, and one of my favorites.
