Pin up this wonderful round button with this wonderful traditional American proverb. The background is midnight blue. TAKE NOTE. You can adjust the size of the acorn image to the size you want. And you can modify the background color with the Zazzle picker. Mighty oaks from little acorns grow is an American proverb. All big things have a small beginning. This is an ink art drawing which scanned in to mak a vector illustration. The design uses brown and orange, colors which are associated with fall (autumn). The 'mighty' version of this proverb is known, in the USA at least, from the middle of the 19th century. I have found two meanings. One which says: "Something great can come from a modest beginning". An another which indicates: "Don't give up on the project".
