because i'm happy

When I first heard Pharrell Williams' song Happy, there was one line that jumped out at me and begged to be used in an etegami. I felt I had just the image for it in this etegami collage I'd started a few years ago but never quite completed. The ladybugs are my dosankodebbie avatar, and if I can remember that far back, I think I was trying to express some kind of freedom of spirit. What do you think? Does the image work with the quote? 

This etegami is for sale on my new Zibbet shop.

For those unfamiliar with this song, here is a link:

I’ve always had a fascination for ladybugs, and use one as my avatar. Ladybugs hibernate in groups, and I often think that these inert ladybugs would make such great Christmas tree ornaments or decorations for a Christmas Wreath. Or, how about hanging a bunch from the ceiling or door frame instead of mistletoe? It’s kind of fun to imagine, don’t you think?
