Welcome to this week’s Weekly Prosperity Pulse!

A clean, professional landscape graphic for a newsletter titled 'Weekly Prosperity Pulse #7.' The design features red, white, and blue colors, with a simple upward trend line, bar chart, and dollar sign icons to symbolize economic trends. The graphic should have a modern, sleek look with stars subtly integrated into the background, making it feel patriotic but without clutter. The title should be clear and prominently displayed at the top with no additional text.
