Little Bug

Fantabulous Cricut's challenge me Monday is to create something with a bug and using the color orange! I really love doing their challenges! I have to say that my projects are usually pretty simple and I am usually awed by the other submissions, but I have fun just coming up with something new!  For the challenge this week I used the Create-a-Critter cartridge and used the ladybug cut...so cute!


The leaf is from the Stretch your Imagination cartridge.  I used my Gypsy to weld two leaves together to make a card.  The dimension of them both is 9.30 wide by 6.29 height.  I used a textured cardstock that was green on one side and yellow on the other side.  For the bug I used dark red and orange.  I used some ink to give the card and bug a bit of a distressed look so it would look "naturey".

Here is a close-up of the bug:


I used pop-dots to adhere it to the leaf.  What do you think?  Is it too simple?
