Love the Colors but got distracted and only ordered 1! Now I am going back for the Front plate to quit complaining. These are just Fun and give you great bragging rights.

These are Great

I got 2 to put one on my Tote Bag and the other for my crossbody Purse. I changed out the blue plastic loop with a Stainless Steel Cable Wire Key Chain in colors! Already got compliments, so I have to going back for a couple more for my luggage. Highly recommend.

The poster is just what I wanted. Vivid colors also.
