Hi Martha, Don't be upset, but I'm afraid those are Northern Pearly Eyes. Check out the spot pattern, the post median line (thickish) and the white flash on the underside of the forewing, emanating from the post-median line (near the leading edge of the wing). Also note the scallopy look to the margins of the hind wings. Not an uncommon mistake.
