Omigosh, Karla! I don't know how you made this tag, but I absolutely LOVE it. I love the distribution of color and the glitter and the stars, oh my! It's definitely one of my favorite patriotic tags, thanks so much!
I am really glad you like it :) I used a gradient image that has big stars. I did a web search for something I could use and voila :D I think I should have lowered the opacity on the motion blur so it would not be so strong (ex. my sig). As for the name and stars on top (they were merged together), I dup layer and gave it a Multiply or Burn mode and lowered opacity until it looked alright to me.
