I went patriotic for today's banner challenge...banners are a staple for any Red, White, and Blue holiday. And I don't know about you guys but when you're coloring something small and precise like the stripes on this flag..do you hold your breath? I guess I do thinking that will prevent me from making a mistake..not sure if that's true but I end up gasping for air when I'm done..lol!

Love, love, love it!! I'm a patriotic girl and I love cards like this. Love how you framed it w/ the pop of white w/the doily behind too. And, your gingham paper makes me think of an Independence Day pic nic! Great card!! TFS

Too funny...about holding your breath...I bet a LOT of us do that without even thinking about it! Love your patriotic card, Polly. Love the "down home" feeling with the gingham and paper doily as a bg. Terrific image(do I spy a prize set?) and most careful coloring. : )
