Tiny Bouquet #2 Thank You Card from Artists to Watch
This 5" x 7" card is printed on a white uncoated, textured recycled paper with soy based inks. It comes with a color-coordinated envelope. Front: Scatter Joy! Inside message is: You make the world a better place! Thank you This card features an image from an original mixed media piece by Amy Rice of Minneapolis, Minnesota.
