Pink and Apricot Rosesa Cross Stitch Pattern by Artecy Cross Stitch

I ordered this on June 24, 2015 and completed it November 28, 2015. It is gorgeous!!! Much prettier than the picture. It is easy, although lengthy, to do. No back-stitching and only full cross stitches, The pattern is very well laid out. I started on page one instead of in the middle as the directions suggest. I figured the size and added six inches. Because it is done as an all-over design, I used aida. Don't hesitate to order this one.

I'm at a loss for these directions as I have never had this type of layout before. I don't understand how the layout works as each page is the same in height ....there is no difference in heights. Also, when I just started page one on the top left side, the first colors indicated are pale yellow and winter white but when I examine the color photo, the colors should represent the leaf ....help.
