lovely, I have been waiting to see a Ladybird.
Chinese lanterns can be any color, but red is traditionally used in conjunction with other colors. Each color has its own meaning, but meanings can change depending on the context. Red represents happiness and good luck; white, purity, old age and wisdom. Yellow and gold represent the first emperor, but also earth and mourning. Blue is associated with immortality, while black stands for honesty as well as death or misfortune.

The horseshoe is upside down, that would be BAD luck (all the luck pours out)
Really??? I didnt' know
What shoud I do? Change the pic or rotate it?
I'm not sure you have to do anything. The theme says to have shots of good luck charms, and horseshoes are generally recognized as that. The legend is that they be hung pointing "up" (so they'd resemble a letter "U" and if they are the other way, the luck would "pour out." Either way, the horseshoe itself is still a good luck charm.
Thanks kyricom, there is always something to learn
Howdie stranger!
