Red, white and blue Christmas

As it was Canada Day on 1 July and is Independence Day in the States tomorrow, there are, understandably, a lot of challenges around atm that feature a patriotic theme, particularly with the colour combo of red, white and blue. These colours were also the theme for last Sunday's Sunday's with Santa on Facebook, so I've made a Christmas card with those colours, for these challenges:

Ann's creative nook 136: the colours of America - red, white and blue
Come and get it: patriotic - red, white and blue
I did it: patriotic - red, white and blue
Paper issues: red, white and blue
Woodware USA 33: patriotic theme and/or colours red, white, blue
Celebrate the occasion 20: 4 July - red, white and blue
Party time Tuesday 22: 4 July - patriotic - red, white and blue
Tuesday throwdown 55: red, white and blue
Use it Tuesday 10: inspiration colours - red, white and blue
Amber's crafts and stuff 16: red, white and blue

Litle red wagon 87: patriotic - red, white, blue
Penny's 56: red, white, blue
ColorLab 47: night of navy, cherry cobbler, not quite navy
Craft us crazy 11: red, white & blue
Crop stop 26: show us your national colours - red, white, blue

Order of the opus gluei 108: red, white and ???
Creative inspirations 63: red, white, blue

The background is from a Patchwork Pals kit and the image and sentiments from a QVC kit from a couple of years ago.

This is also for:

    Fabulous job on using the red,white and blue......though I really don't think it's actually going along with being Patriotic theme for the challenge.
