Someone (Springer was it you maybe?) was calling this the Iris style

The insert looks fantastic with it's iris pattern in the blue part.

I'll take the blame. The reason for it is:





Mine had the iris pattern in the red part.

I have yet to see the iris pattern in both the blue and red part in an insert at once.
