Frequently asked questions

How many spots does a ladybug have?
You can choose that all by yourself; some have two and others have as many as seven!
Which colors do I need?
You mainly need red for the shell and black for the spots and the head.
Do I need to use a ruler?
No, drawing freehand is actually very good for a little animal.
What if my circle isn't perfectly round?
That doesn't matter; in nature, no two ladybugs are exactly the same.
