Illustrator help with gradients

[Lauren Creative]

Hi, 

Does anyone know how I can add a gradiant in illustrator to this flower that means the colour goes a lighter yellow towards the centre of the flower?

Thanks!

Lauren,

You can select all petals and turn them into a Compound Path (Ctrl/Cmd+8), then apply a radial gradient (which will centre itself).

There are other (even sillier) ways.

Perfect, thank you so much!

You are welcome, Lauren.
