A lesson in Appliqué

I can honestly say that I have no idea how to do or know what to do with Applique. I did a little bit of research and then a little practice and then set loose on the ladybugs. It was really interesting, hard and boy do I still need to work more at it. Even though they are not perfect, I'm very happy with how the finished product turned out. I still need to add the antennae - which I haven't decided what colors those will be yet. So any ideas??
