So today's tea pot challenge is to bring the birds and the bees but no trees to the tea party. I just had to bring a ladybug. Why a lady bug you say? Well this Ladybug is going to Rita in Canada (She has the same first name as my dear Mom). Rita has lung cancer in her left lung. Well, I got to thinking that Ladybugs are good luck, not to mention, that in France the folklore is, if a ladybug lands on your hand when it flies away it will take your illness. Rita loves the outdoors and has a beautiful back yard with flowers, trees, and birds. Don't you think it needs a Ladybug!!!
The container you see in the picture was left over from one of my lunches. It is from Bumblebee Tuna Sensation and I repurposed and altered it to put some candy in it.
My image is from Digital Delights. I am there guest designer today as I had won one of the challenges last week. I love Wendy's digis. By the way, she did have Larry the Bee, but I chose the lady bug for the above reason.
Thanks so much for stopping in and have a great day!

I don't think anybody would say no to a ladybird - I love to find them in my garden, and I am sure Rita will love this when it arrives in her letterbox.

Carol, the card and little container are Beautiful!! I love that little Ladybug, it's such a sweet image!! This is one lucky little Ladybug to be surrounded by this beautiful garden! I like the idea of how the ladybug is supposed to take away illness. What a wonderful thought!!
