How to identify it
In this collection the Cape Verde flag is recorded with blue, white, red and yellow as its main colours, a horizontal stripes layout — bands running across the flag from side to side — and one or more stars. Those three properties are what the colour, symbol and layout filters match on, so searching for that combination will return this flag together with any others built the same way.
