Runner Up Sandy D., from California

Sandy also chose a holiday setting for her entry and, although she only submitted on photo, it gave us a strong sense of her complete setting. We loved the precise composition of her design: huge wreaths and light snowmen perfectly balanced on either side of the front doorway which were complimented by smaller elements of red and green throughout the setting. These all created a great base for the applique flag hanging from the second floor balcony which completed the setting by pulling your eyes upward so you took in the entire scene.

Beautiful work, Sandy!

Thank you, again, everyone for taking the time to send us photographs of your work! As always, it was a fun contest and it was great to see your wonderful creativity.

Despite the chilly temperatures and recent snow here in the Northeast, Spring is coming up quickly. We’re busy unpacking a huge shipment of new Valentine’s Day, St. Patrick’s Day, Easter, Spring and Summer designs. Check our Web site in a couple of days to see the latest designs!

Happy Flag Flying!
