I am designing an invitation and found the wonderful tile art you use on your website and was hoping we could use it on our flyer (with a credit to your website and the artist--to lead more people to your project for peace).

Since you have crocheters in your congregation, I'll be sure to find a few more patterns for crocheted leaves and things for you all to contribute. I'm so glad you are interested (!), and look forward to building this tree with you all. The flyer is nearly done. Check the “Sharing” link soon!
