Jake's Graduation Banner

This is my son's Graduation banner that I made for his party. The school's colours are red, black and white. I used the cart Birthday Bash for the pennant shapes and the letters. This cart has a bunch of great pennant shapes and shadows to use...it came together in a snap! I think it took less than an hour all together. I'll just add copious amounts of helium balloons and you get an instant party! Thanks for looking...Lee-Ann :)
**all the starred products were purchased at DAT'S, my LSS.**
