I created this one using the same image as before, but a completely different method....took 5 minutes to create in GIMP without GAP! The GAP method is fun because it was a challenge to figure out, but it takes considerable time to develop the animations, especially those with petals above 4.
If you have the Mehdi kaleidoscope plugin, this style would be created by taking an image, giving it 8 petals in the Mirror effect, and moving only the Vertical slider.
