Greetings (cards)

I illustrate greeting cards in addition to children's books, so for this topic of "greetings" I'm showcasing a small sample of my card designs that have been licensed.
Click on the image to see the cards large enough to read.

I can't tell you what it's for, but it goes outside your house and gets lit up when it's cold outside.

Promotion - Take 2

Yesterday I posted a 5"x7" postcard that I sent out last week to trade publishers.
This postcard I just uploaded to have printed by Vistaprint today. I'll send this one to publishers of magazines and leveled readers. It shows illustrations from an easy reader that I illustrated for Seedling Publications called Map Fun.

This is the front and back of a 5"x7" postcard that I sent to publishers a few days ago. I attached a label with the publisher's address in the middle of the blue tablecloth. I usually have Vistaprint print my postcards, but they don't do the 5"x7" size, so I had this one printed at www.printplace.com.
