This is another of the greeting cards I've designed using all my own photos. As I've said here before, I have no plans to market them, but did have fun designing them, and have given them occasionally as bithday cards. (They're 5"X7", card stock, blank inside, with white envelopes.) In case it's not clear (my scanner's not top knotch) those words at the bottom are "Love," and then below that, "blooms always and everywhere."

For really no other reason than ease of identification, this one is called LOVE. "Love" is on the template, as is that strip of red at the bottom. I'd have preferred not to have the strip but since I had no choice, it looks better with the words in it that I chose than blank. (The designers of the template probably figured this template was like signing "Love,..." and then the sender could fill in their name in that red strip.) What I find rather odd is that among the many, many templates available on snapfish.com (the online site I use) I could not find one with this arrangement of photo boxes, without that dang "Love" or red strip. When I groused to a friend about it, he very casually stated that I can design my own templates. Ack! I've got technology up the whazoo just dealing with my ancient computer and learning enough to choose a new system with any confidence at all when the time comes.

Ooops! That was more information than you need. So maybe just take a last glance at the flowers above. These are the sorts of beauties that pop up around our grounds regularly. They warm the cockles of my heart, even on my darkest days. Therefore, that word "Love" printed on the card and as a title is not totally inappropriate.
