But then along came yours. I loved your color choices, the crispness of the stripes, the 3/2 finger ratio to carry the design...so pretty. I also loved (and I hope this was your intent) your "broad stripes and bright stars" which started our beautiful national anthem playing in my head. I have a question though...and please know I support artistic license (though I do like to know, if possible, what inspired the "loose translation" that falls under artistic license)...may I ask why you added clouds? I actually went to the lyrics Francis Scott Key wrote to see if it was the parting of clouds that allowed him to see the flag was still flying over Fort McHenry. No clouds mentioned though...it was "the dawn's early light" that enabled him to see the flag. So, again, I love your design, but I am curious why you added clouds? Thanks for reading all this! :)Delphi Michaelshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03158707860359412070noreply@blogger.com
