Bugs are popular for all ages. This is an easy card to put together mainly using punches. If you're wondering what I use for adhesives, these days I use Paper Cement for most projects. I've used tapes (those add up fast) and glue pens are nice for tiny pieces. Paper Cement is easy to move your pieces slightly and if any drops down, it rubs off cleanly which a glue will not do.
