The Congressional Medal of Honor Tartan Wallpaper

I designed this seamlessly tileable plaid wallpaper, with this thread count.

The thread count includes thirteen bands of five white stripes, to represent the thirteen white, five-pointed stars in the ribbon, surrounded by light blue stripes. It also includes five bands of gold, to represent the five points on the inverted pentagram which forms the medal. The bands of three gold threads represent the three knobs on the points of the inverted pentagram; the fifty-one threads in the central band of gold represent the fifty United States of America and Washington, District of Columbia. There are seven threads in each band of green, representing seven days a week; the green bands represent the laurels of victory and the oak leaves of strength.

I dedicate this tartan to all Recipients of the Congressional Medal of Honor. I especially dedicate it to my first cousin, four times removed, Private James Dunlavy, who captured C.S.A. General Marmaduke, at the Battle of Mine Creek, on October 25, 1864, in Linn County, Kansas.

The Congressional Medal of Honor Tartan is the largest tartan (as far as thread count) that I have ever made. To see it, right click on the background, and select "View Background Image," or view the background image directly.
