Cut an extra center (square) of the decorative circle part of the Courtyard Elegance then turn it to a diamond and glue onto of the square center. Glue circles on top of the base making sure to only apply glue where it hits the base. Cut pearl swirls as needed and add them to the card. Keep backing on the parts that do not touch cardstock (it is a bit of a pain but looks cool).
