The clip art, fonts, and templates here (including some of my originals) can be used by anyone for whatever occasion you deem appropriate, but for those of you celebrating the 4th of July you'll find that this collection of images have a U.S. Independence Day theme. Some are useful for any project that requires a Red, White, & Blue patriotic theme, including Memorial Day or Veteran's Day. Use them for your party invitations or decorations.
