Ladybug! Ladybug!

My mother used to recite this poem to me on occasion when I'd follow her around the garden.  As a very small child, I was much more interested in the creeping, crawling things than in helping out with the seeding, weeding, and harvesting.

Depending on the season, I'd collect lady bugs, caterpillars, or praying mantis.  Oddly enough, I found butterflies sort of creepy...and bean beetles?  They were right out.  << shudder >>

This ATC celebrates the ladybug, and the memory of my Dear Mom.

Stamps Used:  The Octopode Factory (mushrooms, clock--wings added by hand), Rubber Stampede (ladybug), Hero Arts (tiny alpha)
