Festive card! Love all the red with the blue & kraft (red IS my favorite color). You did a great job with a very good sketch. (Does sketch rhyme with stretch LOL?)

I'm giggling as I write this....went to SCS to look for some "4th of July" ideas in the "search" box....your card jumped out at me. Then I look and OF COURSE it's stampinat6213!!! I love your card, too bad this set is retiring. So sad... Great card, Nancy!
