Is this bead too busy/sloppy

Let me know if you think this bead is a little too busy? Also, should I change it a little and make it a pomengranate sp? or does it look close enough to a seeding Chrysanthemum?
I love Chrysanthemums, and you have caught the warm autumn tones really well! You may be right about this bead being a bit busy though. I think the main flower is busy and bulky on it's own (it IS a Chrysanthemum!) so you probably don't need that number of other large flowers competing with it. Maybe just a few smaller flowers or leaves and maybe some little dots instead?
The other thing is that the petals seem to be coming in from the outside instead of growing out from the center - unless that is what you meant by "a seeding Chrysanthemum"? I guess I have never seen one in seed! Mine never get that far before the frost gets them! :(
It is nice to see a flower other than roses and tri-petals!
