For future reference, don't put a title in all caps-especially with no spaces-and especially with such a pointless title. Seriously. It makes me want to not answer your question at all. And I am pretty sure it is against the rules, so blame yourself if you get chewed out by a mod. And it looks like a blintzed frog base, by the way.

Yup, it's a blintzed frog base, and you got the directions right there on the bottom of the page. It's Japanese so you'll have to start on the right side...

And a "Blintz" simply means to fold all four corners to the middle, like is done in the first step.

Thanks for changing the title-it is much better. I saw a crease pattern for a blintzed frog base on the webpage you linked to, if you know how to read CPs. If not, first fold a blintz base (fold all four corners into the center of the paper), then fold a frog base with the square (without unfolding the corners). Then pull the loose corners out and collapse them down. It is hard to explain in just words-if you have access to Peter Engel's "Origami: from Angelfish to Zen", his octopus uses a blintzed frog base. Good luck!

I made a video once to help someone with a similar problem. You just do the blintz (take all four corners to the center of the square). Then fold a frog base and then follow the video instructions on all flaps. The link to the video is http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8DrHFj4cbKc
