Story

I really enjoy creating things, such as games and electronic projects. I had an Arduino Lilypad that I bought a few years ago but ended up not using it. Wanting to create something special for my girlfriend, I decided to start a project, but without anything specific in mind. After looking up inspirations, I decided to create a flower (because she is kinda addicted to plants) and then other ideas emerged, like using a perforated circuit board in the shape of a flower and a leaf, using LEDs in a circular pattern on the flower and using a sound sensor in a leaf.

It has three interactive modes: one with a spinning LED effect, another with random LED blinking, and the third, where LEDs respond to ambient sound, lighting up in sync with the sound detected.

Here is a video showing all functionalities:
