Looks like wild violets.
**ABSOLUTELY NOT WILD VIOLETS**. The venation and margins are different. This is Ficaria verna, a highly invasive and toxic buttercup relative.

This is wild violets. I think you do have the buttercup. Mine bloom purple flowers.

Creeping ivy?
Lesser celandine (bad) or maybe wild violet? If you check at the base and find tan bulb shaped things or tan tubers – definitely celandine and you better start working on a chemical warfare plan.
Looks like Lesser Celandine.
a simple way to always cross compare violet and celandine is to check for underground tubers. Celandine has a bunch of peanut like roots under every plant
