Dashing off to work....back in a bit to write a description. :-)
EDIT: Okay. I'm baaaaack!
I used the ladybugs from the Cute As a Bug set, stamping them first in black and then the various colors so their shells would be different colors. Obviously, I had to cut the shells out and popped them up on dimensionals. I then got the idea to adhere these little ladies to the 3/4" circles and use them as flower centers for the 5-petal flower punch!
I had started working on the color challenge yesterday by coloring this tweet birdie by Snag 'em stamps, so I wanted to use him in my sketch challenge card today. He really is a tweet boy and only wants to be friends with those lady bugs. Honest engine!!!

Right into my favs!! Charlene, I have to tell you I couldn't tell these were bugs until I enlarged this card....I wondered why you used a bird, and not a bug! Then, I laughed! I really did!! This is such a cute idea....I'm going to case this in the future for one of my grands as a birthday card!! AWESOME, GF!
