This is for today's Free for All challenge to use red, white and blue. I haven't been myself lately and even making a simple card takes so much energy, but this sentiment is so encouraging. I masked the bird to sponge a blue bg and added heart pins along with some twill ribbon which was wrapped around tea towels someone gave me.
