Way to go.  I think a black frame would make it pop.

Excellent cutting.the black backer really shows the oak.

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?

I have no idea what it is in reference to put you did a fabulous job of the snake.  A black frame would be the go I think.

You can either upload it to the Pattern Library, or add it to a post....not sure if there's a file-size limit when posting, though, that may be what's causing issues.

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.

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.
