©Kathleen Rietz->POOF!<- Bugsy was ready for a big date with that special ladybug in his life, thanks to the help of his loyal friends!
With my current workload taking up all of my time, I thought I would pull out an oldie, which is one of my favorite illustrations actually. I have never missed so many weeks of Illustration Friday...it feels good to have something to post and share with you.
Update: Look! It's a photo of Bugsy's lady friend...
