This is the final entry in the re-working sub-series, and my personal favourite—I love green, especially yellow greens, and the orangey paper shows them up beautifully.

I retained the avocado green velvet ribbon, grapes, gold mylar bow, and dull magenta mesh from the first iteration, subbing the green spray for orange leaves, and adding so much green paper and curling ribbon the gold ribbon is mostly covered up—but gold still shows up, as bead garlanding instead.

It's perhaps my favourite, and since it went to the same recipient, it's a good thing I reworked it so much—this is more or less what I had in mind when I started fancy gift decorating, some thirty years ago.
