Red and black color scheme inspired by nature and the lady bug is a great place to begin the party plan.  Collect serving platters, spreaders,  scrapbook papers, and recipes that can be made with the red and black lady bug color scheme.  Green is a neutral in nature so be sure to include this color for contrast.

Ladybug Appetizers and Wrapped Beverage

Zucchini rounds with ranch dressing, halved grape cherry tomatoes dressed like ladybugs. Cream Cheese is tinted black and piped on back of tomato for the lady bug.  The antenna is chive stems sitting in a small black olive.

The beverage is red and the bottled was wrapped with black and white polka dot scrap booking paper.  Attached to the sides of each bottle a striped black and white straw lends to the decor and functionality.  A hand painted red tray with black polka dots is the prefect container for the beverages.  ( special thanks to the late beloved and admired Sharon Neuhaus for lending me the tray and her rendering of Ladies Night Out- which was the inspiration for this event)
