Recipe calls for refrigerated crescent dinner rolls, you can also use crescent dough sheets which is still 2 cans. Just arrange in pan as directed and then seal just the one seam.
I'm sure frozen puff pastry dough would work as well. I've never used it before, just follow the package directions and arrange in a 15x10-inch rectangle.
I've also seen fruit pizza/tarts that use refrigerated cookie dough.
Almond paste comes in a tube and can be found in the baking isle. Do not confuse almond paste with marzipan, it's not the same thing.
Almond paste is firm but pliable. I recommend cutting it in smaller pieces when adding to the food processor. It will blend easier with the cream cheese.
The fruit amounts are approximate. Feel free to arrange in a flag shape.
You can also use other combinations of fruit, like berries, grape halves, mandarin oranges and kiwi.
To toast almonds, scatter on a baking sheet and bake at 375º for 5 to 10 minutes, stirring occasionally, until golden brown.
Lastly, I do not know where my neighbor got this recipe. It is copied out of a magazine I think, over 20 years ago. If you recognize it, let me know and I'll give credit where credit is due.

From one Chicago girl to another I like it!
Uncle Sam would love this festive and patriotic dessert and so will our family. We're not waiting for the fourth of July to put this beauty together though because tomorrow is Memorial day and we have it all ready to go! Thanks for the beautiful inspiration!
