Another in my flag series, hope you like it. A background fill is all I did to this one, I loved the beautiful way it was hanging.

Kara L. Hendricks
  Thank you Marcie, Tammy, Stacey, Mata, Carla and Jessica!
Marcie, I don't think I have enough of these to make a calender, but then, every time I think I'm done with this series, I do another one and love it, so we'll see I guess..
Mata, yes I do love my country very much, as I'm sure you love yours.. Thank you all for responding so well to these. I'm not really sure when this series will be over.. until then, hope you don't get tired of them..

  Very Nice Kara! I love the series! America is something to be proud of, and there is nothing wrong with displaying your pride. Keep up the great work. A lot of personal stories goes with this flag. Many gave their the ultimate sacrifice just so we can be who we are. Thus making our flag more beautiful, and giving more meaning.
