We've had lots of rain this winter and we're grateful for every drop of it having been in or on the verge of a drought the last two years. I haven't seen any ladybugs in my garden yet - I think it's still too cold for them to be out and about but I'm ready for a touch of spring anyway. :-D And no matter what the season, it's always time for Someone Special!
The image came from Ching-Chou Kuik and I colored it with my ProMarkers. Although it's very difficult to see in the photo, I added Glossy Accents to the underwings and the white spots on the ladybugs.
The image is cut with a circle die from Spellbinders, leaving the leaves, flower petals, and wings out-of-the-box. The red circle frame is cut out of a scrap of dp using a stitched, scalloped die from Memory Box. The background dp and the strip holding the sentiment are opposite sides of dp from a Paper House stack.
I added tiny, epoxy, flowers that have a heart in the middle to each end of the sentiment piece.

Oh what a lovely card this is. Love those ladybugs. Thanks for sharing at digichoosday this week
This is gorgeous Connie, loving the cute ladybugs. Last year we were inundated with them. We had a rather warm summer for a change, fingers are crossed for another one this year too.

This is stunning Connie. I love the background and the wonderful image with fabby colouring.
As for ladybirds (our name for them LOL) we have a summer umbrella still up in the garden, it is broken, I'm waiting for hubby to take it to the tip! BUT he unwound it to take it down and there were literally hundreds of ladybirds in it overwintering, that's his excuse for not taking it down LOL.
