Cool, I didn't know that could happen!
I started with 12 sections (or 6 lobes/mirrored sections) then wanted to play around with more section numbers without having to redraw.
I think 12 is for a more advanced paper snowflake maker although I think 8 can look cool too.
Wonder what number in-nature non-hexagonal number was. If you come across it, would love to include it!
If you create a snowflake site, I would love to try it!
