You're my Hero - Stars & Stripes

Hi Everyone!
Hope you are enjoying the weekend, we just got home from Church and are getting ready to go watch a ball game but I wanted to post a card I made for some challenges. I tried using some non-traditional colors to make a patriotic stars & stripes card. 
Hope you all have a SUPER day!

    Hi Shelly love the red star against the light blue paper really bring all the focus to the star. Great use of the twine again to accent the star. Marvelous design. Karen
