July calendar tag

I had a hard time with this too. I think it's because I wanted to do something that wasn't red, white and blue, but in the end I couldn't think of anything else.

I used a red and white striped paper for the background. I saw the pom pom trim on my desk and had to add that with some bling on top. The stars are toothpicks from another swap. The stickers at the top are from another swap as well. Funny thing is, I bought some 4th of July stickers at JoAnn's to use for this and then didn't. I also wanted to use the blue lace and chose it for the tassel.
Here's what my partner created:

I like how she went with summer instead of red, white and blue. I wish I could have done that. This is one of my favorites this year.
