Happy Birthday USA

Happy 4th of July!
Hope you all will enjoy your day with fun, family, food , and SUN (a rarity in the Northeast lately).
This card is for Cuttlebug Challenges Be Inspired #37. Requirements were red, white, and blue, buttons and optional swiss dots folder. Sorry for the poor picture, there was too much reflection off the glittery stars! IRL, they glisten and glow and look great on the card. The crochet stars are cut from a Christmas garland (.49 cents at Salvation Army - tons of stars to cut off!), the glitter stars were from a package in the kids craft department of Michaels, the paper from an old Mat Stack, the buttons (they say Bugle Boy on them!), embroidery floss, and stickers, stash.
