Happy St. Patrick's Day 2018 - Macro Shamrock blossoms

I bought a shamrock plant that was in bloom at the nursery. The image on the left is the original. These flowers are very small compared to the image--used a macro setting on my iPhone 6S.  For the background, I used a blue piece of cloth for contrast.   The flowers were in a pot and I used outdoor shade lighting. The image on the right was attempt for an abstract look using a PSE filter ? watercolor painting.  Compared to how long it would take to paint, I had this image in about 2 seconds.   It could be used for a greeting card or post card.  I posted on Facebook today for Happy St. Patrick's Day 2018. 

The greeting attached was:  "For each petal on the Shamrock, this brings a wish your way:  Good Health, Good Luck, and Happiness for today and every day".
