Take a butterfly's picture next.
Insert it on a new layer by erasing the background with Polygonal Lasso Tool. Copy the layer (ctrl+j) and correct the butterfly's size, its placement and distort level, applying Free Transform (ctrl+t) and Distort.
Correct the color (ctrl+m).
Then copy many times the big butterfly's layer (ctrl+j). Change the size and the placement's angle of the copies - butterflies (ctrl+t). Fill one of the corners with them and after that all the layers containing the butterflies must be merged down.
Change the layer's type on Soft Light and minimize the layer's Opacity till 20%.
Cut out now a lady bird from another picture.
And place it on one of the flower's petal.
Add its shadow the same way we did with the flower's shadow.
Combine now all the layers (shift+ctrl+u) and copy the last one (ctrl+j). Blur it out with Gaussian Blur and change the new layer's type on Color Burn. Minimize the Opacity till 25%.
Finished!

Hi
As this is intended only for the learners, I think you have done a good job.
This is easy to understand for those who want to fine tune their photoshop skills.
