Boy catlady  I think your idea and discription of how to do the butterflies sounds right on the mark. You make it sound easy too. I think most everyone could follow them and come out with a great butterfly or dragonfly. I might suggest that for coloring them you could use fabric paint from the craft store. If you look at them you will find one that is thinner and does not need to be heat set. There are treffic colors - clear colors- and the last time I looked at them there were several colors. So you can make colorful butterflies or as my kids call them flutterbyes. 
Hope everyone is having a wonderful Memorial Weekend. Don't forget to take time to remember all those that have given their lives to ensure our safety and freedom. 
God Bless
