Using Intersection Option to create Petals

• In Inkscape, there are tools like intersection, union, difference, etc which can be used to combine or extract a shape from basic shapes
• For example, here we will use Intersection tool. Which will keep the intersected area by the two over lapping circles as shown in the below video.
• Once you have a shape of petal by arranging the circles that you like, we will cut out that shape using the Intersect command.
• For this select both the shapes. Go To Path> Intersect (Ctrl+Shift+8)
