The green flag is a captured image of a historic Tyrolean Schutzen company flag from the mid 19th century, once again edited in MS Paint, printed out, and enhanced with dark green paint on the bars, and some red, orange, and gold paint. plus a black ink pen to bring out the "Crown of Thorns" encircling the heart design.
