5.0 out of 5 stars Great source of butterfly pictures, February 8, 2003

By	merrymousies (Waterford, VA USA) - See all my reviews (TOP 500 REVIEWER)

There are 388 pictures to draw from. Some are not very clear (a little blurry) but I'd say 80% are really good. Great colors, lots of variety both in terms of types of butterflies and in sizes. Most are stand alone butterflies but some are accompanied by flowers/fruit too.

5.0 out of 5 stars Butterflies at your fingertips!, December 31, 2004

By	Mariangela Buch (Miami, Florida USA) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

This is the kind of book that you'd like to cut up and decorate every wall of you house with. The images are sharp and clear. The size of the butterflies vary for almost every corner or difficult spot on your projects that you need to fill in. Butterlies are included in almost every conceivable size and color.The quality of the paper is also excellent, making the images easy to cut and glue.
