Two colors do all the work: Red for the wing cases, Black for the head, the centre line and the spots. Lay the Black head and the centre line first, because they mark the middle of the design, then add the four spot beads in mirrored pairs and fill the rest with Red. Count out from the centre line on both sides and the spots will line up.
