Centerpiece made from paper and branches

I was looking to do a centerpiece very inexpensively but dramatic. What's cheaper than some paper and branches from the yard?? I cut some flower shapes in different sizes with my Cricut and attached them together with a brad. I got some nice looking tall branches out of the yard, wired on the flowers and put them in a vase. I tied on some green ribbon I had on hand for a leaf effect. Voila!
