All the steps you just did to complete the rectangle frame - repeat with all the heart layers.

Repeat the above step with Buttons 2,,3, and 4. Once you have all the buttons in place delete Small Circle and Small Circle Frame layers.

Add your embellishments. I used:
Sunflower 4: Duplicate 3 times and position the sunflowers behind the large circle.
Ribbon 1: Resize 38%. Free rotate Left 30 degrees
