A summer wreath and very happy 4Th Of July

I hope everyone is having a wonderful 4th today and a huge thank you to all those who have fought for our freedom and who are still fighting for it! So I think you guys have figured out by now that I am in major decorating/crafting mode. The other day I decided to make this super quick summer wreath! The wreath was one I had here, the greenery came from a big package from Hobby Lobby, the bird was made of newspaper and I picked it up at the dollar store and painted it with some FREE Valspar paint in Chambray. Next I made some simple rosettes using a piece of material I got at Hobby Lobby for like .36 cents. So the total cost of my wreath was about $2.00 which I don't think is to bad for a summer wreath! My sister thinks it's hideous what are your thoughts? Be honest I might cry like a baby can take it!
