Happy Fourth of July!

This card has that "sparkle" with lots of Dazzling Diamonds glitter around the stars (from All Through The Year) and around the actual word (from Warm Words).

The white thread is actually grosgrain ribbon with one edge cut off so you're left with fringe and lots of threads.

Tidbit: Independence Day, 2007 — Two hundred thirty-one years ago, 56 brave men signed their names to a bold creed of freedom that set the course of our Nation and changed the history of the world. On this anniversary, we remember the great courage and conviction of our Founders, and we celebrate the enduring principles of our Declaration of Independence. Through selfless sacrifice and unrelenting determination, the patriots of the American Revolution ensured that our Nation's claim to liberty and equality would not be dismissed or forgotten. The ideals they fought for and the country they helped establish are lasting symbols of hope to the entire world. (From: http://www.whitehouse.gov/independenceday/2007/)
