Some projects are meant to be. The morning the mom of baby Sascha contacted me -- asking about a design that incorporated ladybugs -- my daughter found 3 ladybugs in our house. Sascha's mom wanted a design that was fresh and pretty, and incorporated hearts -- but in a subtle way -- since her daughter was born on Valentine's Day.

I set black curling vines with a ladybug and petite heart accents against a mint green background. After designing the baby announcement, I translated the look to coordinating thank you cards.
