Denny Knappen Posted February 8, 2019 Report Share Posted February 8, 2019 Way to go. I think a black frame would make it pop. Ptofimpact 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RabidAlien Posted February 9, 2019 Report Share Posted February 9, 2019 I'd've gone with a yellow backer in homage to the original flag, but this is an awesome cut!!! Do you have the pattern? Ptofimpact 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A black frame would be the go I think. Marg Marg, it was one of the early designs being considered for the American flag. "Don't Tread On Me" was a popular slogan for those disgruntled by Britain's rule, a rattlesnake was added for emphasis, and the "Gadsden Flag" was born. Its becoming popular again as more than a piece of historical trivia as certain elements of the government keep trying to legislate away more and more of our rights. http://www.gadsden.info/history.html Ptofimpact and wombatie 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wombatie Posted February 10, 2019 Report Share Posted February 10, 2019 Thanks Kirk, I found that fascinating. I always thought that what we now know as the American flag was always the intended one with stars added when new states came into their own. Thank you for the history lesson. Marg.
