Represent the design now, which will be situated inside the eye. I combined a ready design and a butterfly’s picture. To separate the butterflies from the background they are situated, just mark them out with Polygonal Lasso Tool and cut them out with Edit ? Cut (ctrl+x). Insert them on a new layer: Edit ? Paste (ctrl+v).

The butterflies need to be discolored: Image ? Abjustments ? Desaturate (shift+ctrl+u). Increase their brightness and contrast, using Edit ? Abjustments ? Brightness/Contrast.
