 The Basic Shape Swirl is an open path/single line shape which needs to be converted into the spiral that
will be cut out. It also has a few too many turns for the flower:

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

 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):

 When you activate the Pen Tool you will notice four nodes now appear at the ends of the two spirals.
Connect the nodes by left clicking on one node and right clicking on the node to which you want to connect:

 Repeat with the other set of dots/nodes to finish closing the open path into a shape.

 To position the swirl shape, select it and click the Mirror icon. Next click the Rotate 90 degrees icon. Move
the spiral into place against the stem. Select the stem and spiral and click the Weld icon:

 Add a Leaf Stem: Click on the leaf and position it a little away from the stem. Click on the Pen Tool again.
This time check the Fat Path box. Select a Size for the Fat Path to use for drawing the leaf stem. Left click
on the flower stem and right click in the center of the leaf:
