LEGO Heart Ornament 40638

Blooming SNOT Frame

The vibrant reds and various shades of pink truly make this heart pop, outlining a perfect display piece. Clever sub-assemblies of layered plates and tiles form the organic flower shapes, secured with solid clutch power to the frame. The SNOT technique employed for the frame's edges gives it that clean, finished aesthetic. It's an intricate build, deceptively simple in its final form.
