Flags over Washington for Obama January 20,2009

Designed this today in honor of the 44th President of the USA. I feel so excited for the American people and their families. My grandfather was born 1870 in the USA so have always felt the connection to the states.
This is a historical moment for all the Americans as well as the Canadians.
I wanted something to remember this day by and this project became very special to me as I was struggle what design to make for the Monthly bookmark group.

Hope you all enjoy the free pattern. Copy it and share it in honor of this
memorable day. Just ask that you don't claim it as your own.
