     DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION 
     With reference now to the drawings, and in particular to  FIGS. 1 through 3  thereof, a new illuminated circuit print seat cover assembly embodying the principles and concepts of the present invention and generally designated by the reference numeral  10  will be described. 
     As best illustrated in  FIGS. 1 through 3 , the illuminated circuit print seat cover assembly  10  may generally comprise a seat cover  11  including a flexible front sheet of material  14  and a flexible back sheet of material  21  both of which may be made of fabric and may be conventionally attached and sewn to one another, and may further comprise a lighting assembly  27  conventionally attached to the seat cover  11  to effect flashing and pulsating light with varying degrees of brightness and intensity. The front and back sheets of material  14 ,  21  may have top  17 ,  22 , side  18 ,  19 ,  23 ,  24  and bottom  20 ,  25  edges with the front and back sheets of material  14 ,  21  securely attached and sewn to one another along the top and side edges  17 - 19 ,  22 - 24  forming the seat cover  11  having an open bottom  13  and adapted to fit about a seat  36  in a vehicle. The lighting assembly  27  may include one or more strips of electroluminescent tape  28 - 30  arranged in one or more particular designs and conventionally adhered with adhesive to an outer side  12  of the seat cover  11 . The front sheet of material  14  may have a backrest portion  42  and a seat portion  41 . The backrest portion  42  may have an outer side  15  with the one or more strips of electroluminescent tape  28 - 30  conventionally adhered to the outer side  15  of the backrest portion  42 , and may also include one or more transparent laminated protective covers  38 - 40  respectively, conventionally, and securely overlaying the one or more strips of electroluminescent tape  28 - 30 . The backrest portion  42  may also have one more holes  26  disposed therethrough and disposed respectively adjacent to the one or more strips of electroluminescent tape  28 - 30 . The lighting assembly  27  may include one or more electrical wires  31 - 32  extending through the open bottom  13  of the seat cover  11  and extending through the one or more holes  26  and in conventional communication with the one or more strips of electroluminescent tape  28 - 30 . The one or more electrical wires  31 - 32  may be conventionally fastened to an inner side  16  of the seat cover  11 . The lighting assembly  27  may further include a sound activated inverter  34  in conventional communication with the one or more electrical wires  31 - 32  for converting sound to electrical current with varying degrees of current intensity which energize the one or more strips of electroluminescent tape  28 - 30  to emit light, flashing and pulsating in concert with the sound at varying degrees of brightness. The lighting assembly  27  may also include a cigarette lighter plug  35  conventionally connected to the sound activated inverter  34  for transmitting electrical current from a power source such as the vehicle&#39;s battery to energize the one or more strips of electroluminescent tape  28 - 30 . 
     As illustrated in  FIG. 2 , the one or more strips of electroluminescent tape  28 - 30  may include strips of electroluminescent tape  28 - 30  spaced apart and arranged in the one or more particular designs and conventionally adhered to the outer side  15  of the backrest portion  42 . The backrest portion  42  may also have holes  26  disposed therethrough with each of the holes  26  disposed adjacent to a respective one of the strips of electroluminescent tape  28 - 30 . The lighting assembly  27  may include electrical wires  31 - 32  extending through the open bottom  13  of the seat cover  11  and extending through the holes  26  and in conventional communication with the strips of electroluminescent tape  28 - 30 . The electrical wires  31 - 32  may be conventionally fastened to an inner side  16  of the seat cover  11 . The lighting assembly  27  may further include an electrical wire splitter  33  conventionally connected to the electrical wires  31 - 32 , and may also include the sound activated inverter  34  in conventional communication with the electrical wire splitter  33  for converting sound to electrical current with varying degrees of current intensity which energize the strips of electroluminescent tape  28 - 30  to emit light, flashing and pulsating in concert with the sound at varying degrees of brightness. The lighting assembly  27  may also include the cigarette lighter plug  35  conventionally connected to the sound activated inverter  34  for transmitting electrical current from the power source to energize the strips of electroluminescent tape  28 - 30 . 
     In use, the user drapes the seat cover  11  over the vehicle seat  36  with the one or more strips of electroluminescent tape  28 - 30  facing forward of the vehicle seat  36 , and plugs in the cigarette lighter plug  35  into the cigarette lighter jack  37  and adjusts the intensity of the sound activated inverter  34  which has a microphone to capture the sounds such as music played from the vehicle stereo. The sound activated inverter  34  converts the sound it receives into electrical current which is transmitted to the one or more strips of electroluminescent tape  28 - 30 ; whereupon the one or more strips of electroluminescent tape  28 - 30  emits light with the intensity and brightness in concert with the sound received by the sound activated inverter  34 . The light may flash or pulsate in rhythm with the sound. 
     As to a further discussion of the manner of usage and operation of the present invention, the same should be apparent from the above description. Accordingly, no further discussion relating to the manner of usage and operation will be provided. 
     With respect to the above description then, it is to be realized that the optimum dimensional relationships for the parts of the invention, to include variations in size, materials, shape, form, function and manner of operation, assembly and use, are deemed readily apparent and obvious to one skilled in the art, and all equivalent relationships to those illustrated in the drawings and described in the specification are intended to be encompassed by the present invention. 
     Therefore, the foregoing is considered as illustrative only of the principles of the illuminated circuit print seat cover assembly. Further, since numerous modifications and changes will readily occur to those skilled in the art, it is not desired to limit the invention to the exact construction and operation shown and described, and accordingly, all suitable modifications and equivalents may be resorted to, falling within the scope of the invention.
