Assembly
In this pattern, I suggest my own version of the Alien Friend, but you can assemble it in any way you like. Your antennae might become a tail, the wing spots might become cheeks, and the belly might become a mark on the forehead. With the same pattern, you can create many different creatures depending on how you combine and place the parts.
