Open a new 600 x 600 blank canvas flood-filled white

Edit Copy

Selections / Modify / Expand by 10
Paste Paper03 into Selections
Deselect

 

Adjust / Hue & Saturation / Colourise with the following settings:

 

 

Now I added the lighter flower to every second flower on the frame
I did so by pasting the flower and resizing it by 12% each time
I pasted a new layer and resized for each flower rather than duplicating the existing one as it would distort
Then I rotated each flower to match the flower it would replace
It's up to you if you wish to play with this step to your liking
Then Layers / Merge / Merge Down
