Nice effort, looks good and I like your color choices.
You could duplicate what was created by the BRL script, to help fill in the empty spsce between the lineart and what was generated by the BRL.

Wallace I try the suggestion but the increase was very little so
I select by color Black and Select>Grow 1 px
I use also the Levels to have lighter colors

That looks better Marcello. :bigthup

You could also have run a Gaussian Blur of 2 or 3 on your duplicated layer, than duplicate it as much as needed to fill the space. Another thing you can do is select the outside of your lineart using the Fuzzy Select tool, grow the selection by 1 or 2 then invert the selection and fill a layer under everything with black or whatever the color of your lineart is.

Wow Wallace, how did you get it to look 3-D like that. Is this because of the shadows between the layers?

Yes.

Did you have to add those shadows manually? Also, do you run each color but all the different pieces of that color at the same time, or do you do each single 'petal' separately with BRL?

I added the shadows using gc-shadow. Doing them in groups is much faster. I think there are 11 layers, not including each layers shadow. If you include the shadow layer, there are about 22 layers in all.
I posted the xcf file, if you would like to see how I did it.

Yes thanks Wallace, I am doing another one and my shadows don't show because maybe they are hidden by the black lines which are thicker in this one.

Wallace you are a Mandala-master!
