Stickers-NOT Hello Kitty Earrings

The extremely popular neko earrings :)

Remember those childhood days when you don't have pierced ears?
You throw tantrums for those beautiful earrings your classmates have.
Finally your exasperated mum decided to get you these amazingly cute sticker earrings!
They come in moon shaped, squares and all sorts of shapes and designs.
These pair of Hello kitty earrings made from stickers just like those.

Buried somewhere in your childhood memories, I guess :)

Yes, It's a black umbrella :)

Which other flowers as 8 petals and are in blue?
Having 8 petals has got something to do with Fibonacci and biological settings.
Which i totally do not understand.

A plain black umbrella and 3 sizes of cut-out waterproof petals are being used.
