Three Flags

Sweet Eilon was turning 11 and shared with his mum exactly what he wanted on his birthday card. He apparently loves flags and can recognise them from all over the world, so he came up with a list of places whose flags he wanted featured on his card. Mum also asked me to include a globe on the card, and of course a big number 11 to mark Eilon's age.

The three flags Eilon wanted on his card were the national flags of the Seychelles, Kiribati, and Saint Lucia. I've shown Eilon waving the flag of Saint Lucia, with its blue background and bold black, white, and gold triangle design. Behind him, a globe is topped with the flags of the Seychelles and Kiribati.
The national flag of the Seychelles, the third since the country gained independence from the United Kingdom in 1976, is bright and distinctive. It features five bold diagonal bands fanning out from the bottom left corner.
Kiribati is a remote island nation in the central Pacific Ocean. Its flag has a red top with a gold frigatebird flying over a rising sun, and a blue bottom with three white wavy stripes representing the ocean.
Eilon's mum was delighted to see the card:
"Thank you, Lisa, for the beautiful card! Eilon will be so happy. He will love it, I’m sure!"
