Ladybugs are Here!

Is there anything cuter than a Ladybug?  I think not.....  Here are a couple of cards I made using the new Little Ladybugs host stamp set that is available now and the Ladybugs dies that will be available on February 4.  I was super happy they came out with dies for this set as I am not much into fussy cutting out images.  Here are the instructions for making this card and if you click on the image below it will take you directly to my shopping page which will list all the items needed to recreate this card.
