now i hope i'll explain clearly this one..
add layer mask on the twirled daisy layer, then duplicate the twirled "tile 2" layer and drag to it the layer mask. right click and select apply layer mask and then apply the color burn blending option so that the twirl color inside the daisy changes. [if necessary change the layer's hue value]
