I decided on patriotic, not a real stretch with these colors, but I need to go with the easy things in life these days!
I am mostly pleased with this card. I do like my "sparklers" from the the set Good Friend. I'm also pleased with the Crumb Cake (formerly Kraft) ink stamped on the Crumb Cake cardstock. I'm not so pleased with the bottom and my tinsel and rick rack border. Originally I was playing with a striped ribbon treatment. It was OK, but very bulky so I took it off! I'm not convinced this is any better, but I went with it!
