I have the feeling they mean for us to individualize the project by finding another pre-printed butterfly to use. Just about any nice-looking colorbook image would work... and if you don't want to harm the original book, a scan or photo copy of the butterfly would work just as well.

WHERE do you get "Barbara's buterfly image? I've seen other things on this site that use printed images (there was a fairy project), but I can't find these images anywhere! Where do I look? Thank you, Peg in Oklahoma
