Dragon Banner – Finis!!!
The full dragon banner. Has tab hangers at the top.
FINALLY!
My godson/pseudo-nephew turned 13 yesterday. In honor of the event, I made a point of finishing his dragon banner – that he still doesn’t know he’s got, since he spent the weekend at his father’s. After I post this, I shall be delivering it to him.

The EO says if the kid doesn’t like it, he’ll take it himself.

Edited 2/26/10 to add – Well, when he opened it he hugged it to his chest and went dancing around the room with it, so I guess it’s a success!
