Today is a special challenge at Color Hues #44. We're having a Play Day with Michele Ferguson! - I Card Everyone! Her challenge is called Playing Cards With ... and we are so happy to be the ones to play along this month! And YOU will be able to play along too making it super fun!
Our colors are red and blue. The DT was asked to include stars or stripes with the colors, but they are not required of those who play along. I gave myself a tough-er challenge: I used the colors, stars and stripes all on a NON-patriotic card!
My husband's aunt had a July 4th Birthday and used to throw a huge party for all the family (and herself!) every year. Instead of having her birthday get lost in the holiday shuffle, she found a way to make it extra special. Or just "EXTRA" as the sentiment says. She would have loved these happy gifts decked out in polka dots, stars and stripes! 
Hope you will decide to play along! I can't wait to see what you will make! And for those in the US, have a wonderful holiday weekend
Be yourself
Have delight in your craft
Make something beautiful!
Stamps used: WPlus9 Birthday Wishes
