How Do I Make A Buttercream Shamrock???

I want to make some st. patrick's day cupcakes for friday. I'm thinking something super simple...white frosting with a single green shamrock, but I'm not sure which tip(s) I should use for the shamrock. Does anyone have any suggestions? Thanks!
there's a pic in my photos, i used tip 353, it makes the smaller shamrocks. if you don't have that tip, you can use a round tip to make hearts, just imagine each heart is one of the shamrock leaves.
I used tip 100 or tip 103 and made something like a three petaled primrose, but I made the dip much deeper.
And then made a tip 3 stem.
On a few I made four leaf clovers. It looked really cool; I let them dry for a day or so and then put them on my cake. Hopefully I'll be able to borrow my mother's camera to take pictures.
Thanks everyone for all the great "tips." Thanks SheilaF for posting the photo. That's exactly what I had in mind!!! I'm a very visual person, so your photo really helps me a lot.
