Mirror image roses i.e. left and right roses.
When placing roses on far sides you need to reload each selection (on a new layer). This will enable you to position the roses so they appear to wrap around the sides.
Apply inner bevel to each rose and sharpen each rose again (brightens & highlights)
On lid change rotation of each rose slightly and mirror left and right roses.

Tips from Sandy
On a couple of spots, on the legs and on the lid, where the edges were a bit jaggy, I used the Retouch Tool set on Smudge to soften them a little.
Use the following settings for the Retouch Tool
Shape - Round
Size - 3
Hardness - 0
Opacity - 61
Step - 5
Density - 100
Smudge

I also cheated with the legs! I copied and pasted as a new layer, then mirrored the leg when I had done one so I didn't have to do it again!

Vanishing Point Distance - 76
Length (pixels) - 30
