| Ladybird Love Bug with Wings |
Ladybirds (or Ladybugs) are one of my favorite wee creatures so make perfect little Love Bugs. The wings are made of felt, I painted the black spots and added lots of sparkle. The antennae are made from wire.

A little Love Bug doesn't have to have felt wings, this one has a painted cloak instead.

This pair are really cute and would make a lovely cake topper for an engagement or wedding.
These can be found in my online shops (links up and to the right) or you can contact me if you want something similar.
OK so I have 3 'ickle diddy Questions for you.....
1.. Do you call them Ladybirds or Ladybugs... or do you have your own name for them?
2.. What do you call male Ladybirds?
3.. When you're writing about a photo do you place the writing BEFORE or AFTER said photo?

ReplyDeleteThank you Claire x
Delete1. Ladybirds
ReplyDelete2. lol has to be ladybirds again
3. After!
Such sweet little characters, Jan! :o)
Thank you, I always struggle with the before or after :)
DeleteThey are really sweet, I always call them ladybirds whether they are make or female (or if you ask Lucy she will call them all Gaston after Ben and Holly's Little Kingdom). I also always put the writing after or under the picture.
ReplyDeleteAwww that's sweet, I'd never heard of Gaston or Ben & Holly so I've just googled them :)
DeleteLadybirds, unless I am talking to someone from the States.
ReplyDeleteSame for the boy ones.
Had to check for the last question, but I seem mainly to put the photo first and writing after.
These are just so darn cute! I've no idea if male ladybirds have a different name, manbirds doesn't seem like a thing does it?!
ReplyDeleteI've just googled it, the "Lady" bit is for "Our Lady" apparently so male ladybirds are just that, male ladybirds - learn something every day!
now I never knew that about Our Lady and crops and things, you certainly do learn something new when you google :)
DeleteThank you for your visit.
ReplyDeleteI love these Ladybirdies. Very cute.

Hahaha I love your #2 answer... so true x
DeleteI tend to call them lady bugs as have a lot of US friends but find UK do not always understand, so use both names. I think yours look so sweet and as you said not just for Valentines
ReplyDeleteThey'd look pretty on your lavender sachets :)
Deleteladybugs :) so so cute! can be for anytime too clever! x
ReplyDeleteThank you x
DeleteAren't those cute!
ReplyDeleteHi Jan, these are lovely! I would say ladybirds for both male and female and I sometimes do before, sometimes after with pictures and comments xxx
ReplyDeleteOoh they're lovely! Round by us a ladybird is a bishy-barney-bee.
