I really like the layout you've chosen for this sweet image! The combination of red colored DPs with spots and stripes is beautiful, and I like your own made embellishments. The scalloped circles with sentiment and button are great finishing touches on this card!

Such a great "ladybug" card, Pat, right down to the spots on your paper.
