Chuck:
I am glad you called our attention to the rosette, I never thought about using a pear shader in combination with that flower stamp to make a larger rosette. Duh!
I have a question about the original belt, the D rings for the suspenders--are they sewn or rivetted to the belt? I cannot tell from either picture.

Looks to me like the d-rings were mounted with a strip sewn in between the two layer of the belt - anyway that's one way I've made them.
As for the rosette the three stamps look to me to be Craftool:
J816 Flower for the center and rather than a pair shader the outer ring is a sunburst - either N300 or the slightly larger one 300 which is apparently discontinued
The reason I recognized it is I have done rosettes in a similar style with
the discontinued J787 8 petal flower, with a J615 flower center, and the 300 or N300 sunburst.
I've also used pear shaders for rosettes though
Here;s just one example where I used the smaller 6 petal flower in the center with an N720 Sunburst along the outer edge of the petals, then about 1 1/8" -1 1/4" from the center I draw a circle and along the outer edge I use the same N72o sunburst. On the inside curve of the sunburst I then use a pear shade
If you look through the website you'll see variations on the same theme like this one - where I added some straight lines where the outer sunbursts meet - this is one from my Frontier Holsters DVD
