[Magdalen] Happy birthday, George!

[Grace Cangialosi]

I'm glad to know that Google is still doing their clever logos! I haven't logged on to it much recently, and I was afraid when they made the switch to that dreadful new logo that that would be the end of the fun ones.

Normally they are a cut out design, not letterings. The Day of the Dead is VERY BIG in Mexico and with their scattered emigrants. They're usually about 12"x18" and hang close together as pictured, stretched across rooms and festooned in open areas above the crowds.

I've taken a screenshot of the google page, to use for reference in my patterns the next time I want to do something that uses that sort of thing.
