Red, White & Blue

"Challenge #9 - Non-Traditional Christmas Colors"

Here is my submission for the 7 Kids College Fund Challenge Blog. I used red, white and blue as my color scheme.

At this time of year my thoughts are very centered around our troops and praying for their safe return home. Our family has several members that serve in the armed forces and I thought this would be a great way to use our country's colors for a Christmas card.
