SIRIGANNADAM GELGE!!!

ELLARIGOO NAMASKARAGALU!!!!

I know I am totally late.... But better late than never....:)
Kannada Rajyotsavada Shubhashayagalu!!!
Karnataka was formed on November 1st in 1973.....
Until then ours was Mysore region.....
So on november 1st we celebrate Kannada Rajyotsava or Karnataka Formation Day...
On this day, we hoist our Kannada flag, the red and yellow flag...........
So I had thought of doing something related to this theme in these colours!!!!
But I had done this Quilled bird and had forgotten all about it!!!!!
Now suddenly yesterday, when I was searching for something else among my arty things , I found this and so I am posting this atleast now :) :) :)
