Jumbo Crochet Doily 9 as Diwali Rangoli

Hello friends, As I have posted in "Art of Rangoli", I used to draw big rangolies But now a days I am not able to draw such big rangolies (due to legs pain). So I thought, why not to make a permanant big rangoli by Crochet. So I made this "Jumbo Doily" as in fig 1. For this I used two colours white and pink in 4 ply yarns and 3.5 mm crochet hook.
