Francis the Firework has been ready for quite some time and is very glad you’re finally here. This intermediate pattern works up faster than a fireworks display and brings enough brightness to fill a room. He’s small, sparkly, and absolutely will not dim for anyone. A brilliant little make for Fourth of July and beyond.
