Want to know how I made these?  Short version:

I went to Blackberry Paper online.  Found a paper I liked, right clicked on it and saved it to my desktop.  I went to Picnik, uploaded the picture, added text, a border, resized to 125 X 125 and saved it.  If you need more details leave a comment and I will add a full tutorial.

Hi Janelle - so cool to find another Janelle who spells it the same! I have seen your sodderbug buttons on other blogs but never made it over here - super cute!!
My favorite button is the turquoise frame with the pink frame inside! They are all super cute though!!
