Snowflake Monday

This is the second flake inspired by a crowded train ride and the first flake I'd designed in about three weeks. This was in December, and I had to get some Christmas presents done. So flake making had dropped off a bit.

You may do whatever you'd like with snowflakes you make from this pattern, but you may not sell the pattern. Thanks, and enjoy!
