Thank God it's Friday - Banners/pennants

There is a story to my banner. In mediaeval times a young woman would have no portrait to remember her loved one when he was away at the wars. She would have had to make do with a stylised banner, faded with age.
Background papers by Irene Alexeeva, image a Suzee Que free to use photo on Flickr, other elements my Tangie Baxter/de Crow Designs.
