ABSTRACT:
A garage door decorative cover assembly for use over the exterior surface of a garage door made of a plurality of door panels includes at least one flexible panel and, for each flexible panel, a first connector and at least one resilient second connector. Each flexible panel has a first end, a second end, a front surface and a back surface. According to one embodiment and with respect to each flexible panel, the first connector attaches the first end of the flexible panel to a surface of the garage door, and the resilient second connector couples the second end of the flexible panel to a surface of the garage door other than the exterior surface such that the flexible panel is held taut when the garage door is in both open and closed positions. According to another embodiment, and with respect to each flexible panel, the first connector means attaches the first end of the flexible panel to a surface of the garage door other than the exterior surface, and the resilient second connector couples the second end of the flexible panel to a surface of the garage such that the flexible panel is held taut when the garage door is in both open and closed positions. The flexible panels are provided with fanciful holiday, seasonal, or other celebratory indicia which preferably together form a composite illustration.
