Divide buttercream equally into two bowls. Tint one green and the other red. Fill each half of a double sided piping bag with green and red. Slip double sided bag into regular bag fitted with a #2A tip. Pipe a swirl of icing on each cupcake with a slight mound in the center. Lean an edible friend against the mound on each cupcake. While icing is still wet sprinkle white non-pareils over swirls of icing.
