Very beautifully created Jayanthi. I especially like the yellow outline around the purple colored rose. :)
It was nice of you to attribute the source of inspiration for your rangoli. Unfortunately, this courtesy is not always extended. Once in a while, I do stumble upon work outside iKolam that obviously could be traced back to the kolams/comments found here. This perplexes and upsets me. But, I force myself to get over it, by focusing on the good side of people, which is aplenty at iKolam. :)
Jayanthi ma'am this is a beautiful one... you have done a wonderful job... the shading of the roses are excellent... it gives a carpet effect.. very well done ma'am
Jayanthi, copy adippadhum oru kalai dhaan. In the original the creater will have full freedom, whereas when u copy ur imagination gets restricted and so u will concentrate only in repeating the features rather than enhancing its minute details.But we always get tempted to copy the excellent work of others we admired and I feel copying is in a way giving tribute to the original.Here u have done a good job.

Copying is the first step to creation. It is not always easy too (like writing songs for a dubbed movie), Everybody copies somebody and adds a bit and herer and there and passes it on as his or hers. You have done a neat and painstaking work. Quite a good effect. Roses are red, violets are purple, leaves are green and this is serene!

Just to clarify, copying if fine. Where would we be, if we hadn't copied from our grandmas and moms? :)
But, my emphasis was on attribution, and I think it is essential. :)
Lata, Eversince I saw Vani's rangoli's I wanted to try them and the platform happened to be this year's Navratri in our complex. To everybody in the complex, who commented the rangoli , I told them that the credit goes to my motivator who did a much much better work than this. This is like Puliyai paarthu poonai choodu potta kadhai. Lata, I completely agree with what you are saying.... It is a nice gesture to attribute if it is a motivational work.
Jayanthi, I compared yours with original. Though it is tough to get the depth and 3D effect of Vaniji's shadings I can say that you have justified copying!
