Snowflake Monday

This was a fun flake for me because it wasn't inspired by anything. It was just an idea I had in my head. I played around with the design on the train in one commute, and by the time I finished, I liked it. I didn't redo and redo and redo this one!

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