    Julia,
    So cute! I love the gingerbread man - perfect as Uncle Sam! I really like the clean frame line around him and the sentiment - makes everything look like it was meant to go together.

    What a fun card, Julia!! I would have never thought of a gingerbread man for the 4th, but you are obviously more creative that I am! I love the card you made last year (or was that 2 yrs ago?)too!!
