Leaf: Select the Heart shape and bring it down to the stem. Manipulate it until it is the shape and size you
want for a leaf. Do this by using the different red Scale icons in Scale mode. You may also wish to try some

Place the leaf near the stem. Later you will use the Fat Path in the Pen Tool in Node Edit Mode to add a
little stem to the main stalk:
Sprial: The Basic Shape Swirl is an open path/single line shape which needs to be converted into the spiral

Use the Node Edit Tool to delete nodes at the start and at the end of the Swirl to reduce the number of

To convert to the spiral that will be welded to the flower stem, select the modified Swirl and use Copy and
Paste In Place to make a copy. Select the copy, and reduce in size to make it smaller but not change the
shape. Arrange the two shapes and press S to Stack them:
Combine the two paths into a single shape by using the Pen Tool in Edit Node Mode (press F5):
