I made this card for this week's "No Place Like Home" challenge on the Crafty Secrets member forum.
I was thinking about this little ladybug's story. He's an older little guy, who's lived his life dodging big, clumsy human feet, birds' beaks, and other dangers. He's ready to retire to a less precarious existence, so he's made the long journey to Fairyland. He can relax there, while the fairies watch over him, keep him safe, and make him lovely things to eat. In this scene, he's almost arrived at his new home.
TFL!

Such a cute and adorable card Marcy. Really like how you used that Lace border punch and the paper you used with the Lace border. Had to take a look at it closely to see if it was another punch, stamp or actual design of the paper. Must be the later of the three?????
Thanks for hosting this week challenge. Brought back many memories of home.
