ABSTRACT:
A garage door decorative cover assembly for use on an exterior surface of a garage door made of a plurality of door panels permitted to rotate relative to each other when the garage door moves from a closed position to an open position includes at least one flexible panel and, for each flexible panel, a first fixing element and at least one resilient second fixing element. Each flexible panel has a first end, a second end, a front surface and a back surface. With respect to each flexible panel, the first fixing element attaches the first end of the flexible panel to the exterior surface of the garage door, and the resilient second fixing element couples the second end of the flexible panel to the exterior surface of the garage door 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. Preferably the indicia on the panels, in side-by-side display on the garage door, together form a composite illustration.
