You think I am just bringing one ladybug to help rescue Lou la Bella but it is what you don't see that counts. My ladybug has many teeny, tiny larvae under her and they are already eating aphids and will soon be strong ladybugs. My new mom even put stickles on her antennae to look beautiful for the party.
The white piece under the red is scored. I hope it show up well enough. I used pop ups for the ladybug and the center rectangle. I think this would make a cute set in the note card size.

Marilynn, I love the scoring behind your lady bug. It is what I noticed first about your card...even before reading your description. I love the stickles on her antenea. It really makes her look like an elegant lady. Kelly is going to love the ribbon and button!!! Such a cute card!

I see we have another smart cookie aboard the Lady Bug Cruiser today! Sheer brilliance on your part to bring a ladybug mass producin' mama today. We're gonna need 'em against Bug Thug. Do yer babies need some protective dust against Bug Thug's slimy spit?
I love your clean, pretty card, and, yes, I can see the cool scoring!

How cute! Love this little CAS ladybug card! The scored panel and gingham ribbon and button are great! Glad there are more ladybugs under there to help out!

LOVE this! the multi-matting [plus scoring!] is a great concept, and the gingham ribbon and button are the perfect send-off for this card! ~k [btw, congrats to mama-bug!]

Oh my! A couple of those mama ladybugs and we are good to go! Woot! I agree with you....these would be adorable note cards! They are simple but not too! I love the scoring you did....and the pretty pink against the stark white is perfection!
Thanks for bringing ALL THESE LADYBUGS! Lou-la-Bella will be impressed at this little bugs willingness to put her young-uns to work....worst case scenario, the little ones can be a diversion if need be....cause a big rutcus while the adults move in!
