Mum Fleurettes

This image began as a photo that I took today while I was at Trader Joe's (a grocery store). I love grocery stores, and not just for the food; you can find visual treats too, if you look for them, and I do! There were fall flowers on display at the front of the store, so I stopped to take some pictures. I liked the colors and patterns of these little flowers. They look like primroses, but they are mums. (The sign said "mum fleurettes", to be exact.) Tonight I cropped the photo to get this composition. I also used Painter to posterize it and to add some color overlay to soften the highlights in the cellophane.
