LED project. An Arduino fireplace.

I wanted to make a project that made the light coming off some LED's look like the light from a fireplace. it consists of some yellow and some red leds these randomly turn off and on very quickly giving the appearance of a dancing flame. there is some RBG led's that slowly change between yellow and red then back again giving the appearance of wing on hot coals.

my original thought was to make a mirror that looked deeper than it was by bouncing light off two mirrors but the LED strip lights I ordered haven't shown up yet.
I got the idea from the old heaters that looked like a fireplace.
