Thanks, Smithsonian, for these wonderful templates! I have a friend who will be sworn in as a US citizen soon. I plan to use the Star Spangled Banner to hand quilt a congratulatory gift for him . . . Just perfect for pumpkin carving and other uses as inspired.

As a retired employee of the Smithsonian Institution I am sorely tempted to carve a 'Castle' pumpkin - but am preparing to leave for a weekend seminar on Solar Plate Etching. I've put the template in my "Save" file - maybe next year.

Wonderful! Finally something different that isn't "dripping" in gore. I plan to use two of the images. Thanks.
