Another Jello recipe from one of those cards at the grocery store...pretty easy to make and tasty too! Just in time for Labor day get togethers. This recipe is VERY easy to lighten up by adjusting the ingredients( such as low fat cream cheese and sugar free jello mix).

Beat cream cheese and sugar until well blended then gently fold in the cool whip. Spread over SET jello.

Top with strawberry halves for the "stripes" and use remaining blueberries for the "star". Store in the refrigerator.
