Valentines decorations

I was trying to think of something to make as a nice table centerpiece, valentines themed, and decided to make this:

It is just a styrofoam circle and then red and white roses. I bought it all at the dollar store! the roses came in bunches of 6 or 7 or so, I think it cost around $10, or a little less, and then I have a mirror to set in the middle of it and then I will put a pillar candle in the center. I will take pictures of it on Valentines, but the candles I need are in storage in the basement and since Tom is still working on the stairs to the basement I will have to go outside and around lol, another time :) And also if I want to change it up next year, I can tie a long, large ribbon around it and hang it on a door or something. 
So then I had some roses leftover so I thought of this idea:
I ended up having to go get 2 more bunches of roses, but anyways...so all I did is bought a 5inch square block of styrofoam and cut it in 3 pieces that were about 1 1/2 inches thick because I glued the cream ribbon around the edges to get a more finished look, and I used a 1 1/2 inch ribbon. Then just glued the roses in, put them together with ribbon and tada! lol I think it cost me around $6-$8 or so... and both of them were super easy as well...the pictures are a bit dark, but it was easier to see that way than being blasted with white light or something lol
