Stars, Stripes, and Dots - Hello Card

Some patriotic colors for my card today.  Thank you to Betsy Veldman and Papertrey Ink's "Make It Monday" #67 tutorial for inspiring the layout and the "three patterned papers" idea.   I really enjoyed working with the design, and I love the end result!  

Card details:

• Card stock is Papertrey Ink rustic cream, classic kraft, enchanted evening (blue), and pure poppy (red.)  I computer-printed my patterns using blue, kraft, and red ink on rustic cream and kraft card stock.  
• The dies are Papertrey Ink seeing stars (smallest of the three dies) and limitless layers 2-1/4" ovals.  I used a square punch to notch the end of my kraft banner.  
• The red dot in the center of the star is a 1/4" circle punch (the red dot is inlaid into a hole punched in the star).  
• My sentiment "Hello" is computer-printed in blue ink with Stencil font, expanded spacing.
