I love fairytales, and so when ArwenNightstar made some spreads based on them it made me happy ^.^
However, my favourite (and the one I most identified with) was Beauty and the Beast, which does not have a spread. So, I made one!
I welcome any constructive criticism, as I have NEVER made a spread before EVER, being the newbie(ish) person that I am. But I had a go

The shape of the spread is like the belljar that is kept over the rose in the story, with card 8 symbolising the rose - the rewards, outcome.
Card 1 - The handle of the belljar - what the witch would have used to put the belljar over the Rose. It is the past, what created the situation.
Card 2 - The top of the belljar. The situation itself, what is happening.
Card 3 - Part of a side/wall of the belljar. How other people view the situation/what it appears to be.
Card 4 - Part of another side/wall. Hidden factors to the situation.
Card 5 - Part of a side/wall. What is preventing you from changing the situation/difficulties.
Card 6 - Part of a side/wall. Who can help you/what kind of help is needed
Card 7 - The floor/bottom of the belljar. How to change it, what you need to do/learn.
Card 8 - The Rose. The rewards, outcome.
I tried to make a spread that can be used as an inner-self spread as well as for divination, as I enjoy versatile spreads - you just need to change it from being about a situation to being about yourself, how to improve yourself etc.
I hope you liked it and that I explained it clearly enough. I would love to hear your opinions on my first attempt
