That is the cutest food I have ever laid eyes on!!! Tomorrow we celebrate our grand daughter's birthday, Brooklyn Sophia turns ONE!! The coolest and happiest thing about it is they just moved to Ohio to live near us so we actually get to CELEBRATE together!! Over the years we have only been able to be at a couple of her big sister's birthdays as we never lived near eachother - so next month I will be making a card for Layla Paige and celebrating #FIVE with her!! Happy, Happy, JOY,JOY!!~! I looked at this bunch of edible ladybugs for my inspiration - did not try to duplicate it but just got some great ladybug inspiration from these adorable cakes:

Hope you like my ladybug card for Brooklyn Sophia!!

This is so pretty, Karen. What a great layout -- I love the way the ladybugs surround the flowers. And I'm so happy you can share your granddaughter's birthday up close and personal. I know just how you feel. Three of my grandchildren live in Alabama and another one lives in North Carolina. I don't get to see them nearly enough!

So glad to be back and seeing your fabulous cards! I got so ingrained in looking at the pictures on the site, I almost forgot to make a card!!
Your card is beautiful with all the ladybugs!!

PRESCIOUS!! Not sure where to begin - the colors and coloring are wonderful, the inside is as well, love the placement of the ribbon, but what makes is REALLY special for me is the hand-written sentiment!! Just imagine, oh, say 15 years from now, when Mom/Daughter/you are taking a "teen" trip down memory lane, and find/open this card - gives me goosebumps just thinking about it. TFS!!
