This is for the Twisted Sistahs' Challenge 0701 to make an "Americana" card. My first thought is always the soldiers, but then I thought what says America - and that, at least to me, is The Star Spangled Banner - so that's what I used for my card for this challenge. Hope you like it and thanks for looking! My blog.

Cathy what an awesome card. I really like that dp and what a neat idea to use the Star Spangled Banner. Oh and I love that ribbon. Great card. Doesn't seeing all these Americana cards make you pride for our country?! It sure does for me.
