This turned out very nice, Jimmy. A tip when cutting corners, stop pushing into the cut of the blade and create slight back pressure when making your turns.

I've finally figured that part out but even with the thinnest blade it was nerve racking cutting at the top and bottom of those butterflies. I nicked one spot so I duplicated it on the other side to hide my flub.

There are a number of ways to fix "oops".   You will find AC Glue to be your friend. 

However, if the "oops" ,is bad enough, what so bad about having to start over. If you can't afford t o throw it away, you might want to find a different hobby.  I've completely cut many a pattern that never gets diplayed for many reasons and they wind up in the fire box.  It is only wood!

I personally like the thinner cut panel with a backer.    In your pics I can not really tell a difference in color.  If the imsge had more details in the butterflys and girl, then maybe color would be appropriate.  If you have seen any of my work, you may know that I will often add color, but for this case I like the simplicity of the B&W effect. 

Hope you plan to apply a good protective coating like Lacquer or such and find, or make, a nice Frame to realy make it an outstanding piece.

BTW, very well done!
