Leaf Placemats

How about creating leaf placemats for your holiday dining?  Take construction paper with colors of red, orange, yellow, and green. Cut each one out in a shape of a different leaf.  Then write the name of your guest on each placemat.  Place the mats on your table for a festive holiday dining.

Red Ladybug

I enjoy watching ladybugs walk on leaves & flowers during the summer.  I especially like the deep red color against the green leaf background. It's a nice color contrast.  Ladybugs are simple & fun to draw as well.  Here's one I drew using lines, circles, and an oval.
