Maybe toss in a perspective tilt for either the top and bottom, to increase/reduce either top or bottom wings...

Run radial blur on a copy, then smooth.

Toss on some wing patterns. (sort of lazy-like, lol).

Sweet! Thanks, Lyle.

Cool result Mahvin. Anyone else (including you Mahvin) with some additional ideas is definitely appreciated. Hope to see some more cool concoctions too. :)

I felt the radial blur could have been a little stronger, but I was testing, in a quick fashion. I tried finding wing patterns, (not actual wings) and didn't have much luck. I guess one could create their own patterns (dots, texture, etc).

Nice concept. Just add a little oblong body and some antenna and you've got a flutterby. :hehe

Used my hex lace pattern (ssp; for those who don't know what that means, it means shameless self promotion; lol) to create the wings then filled the inside part of the wings (actual wings on top layer) with various textures. Also did some distortions to get a different size for top and bottom wings. Also, am just too lazy to do that Tux. lol

Not going to show it, but change the vertical component of the 50% by 50% offset to 53% and the top wings will be larger when you re-run AC Script-fu. Just wanted to pass on that hint. :)

it all looks lovely but alas I cannot even see any script there on that link...just the descriptive page and a couple of links, one of which led me to a list of scripts, but the AC one just led me back to this page again. So what am I doing wrong??

Not sure if anyone compiled this one for the MAC platform Pauline. I know for the experienced user it is child's play for Linux users (thought I'm not experienced to that degree in Linux myself). Not sure if anyone here is a MAC guru; maybe someone who is will help you out. :)
