This is one of our display counters at the store(and one of my personal favorites). You could absolutely use this on a board or a door . We love the weathered wood look of this paper...YES- that is paper covering our red base! We layered the fall 6" cut outs over the pennants and then glued our store name BEST on over those. We used the coordinating 10" cut outs for the corners and dressed up the edges with a pumpkin border. So Festive!!! I am going to do something similar at my house for our fall festival!
