Bella's sequence is correct; For once, we can check the scale factor. The large side in the blue shape is 8 units long, while in the red shape it is 12. Hence, the scale factor is 12/8=1.5.

Hence, we get that the pointy parts of the shapes should point to the same direction. This is clearly not the case here, so Marco's procedure is wrong; in fact, his procedure yields almost the same object as the red one, only reflected along the y-axis.
