What I love about this design — the warmth generated by the careful cropping of the lamp on the front echoes the theme of warmth of the family gathered around the chiminea, the metaphorical warmth of family gatherings as classic as Rockwell. The faux textures and deep red color compliment this client’s exquisite sense of style.

This card is so inviting. My favorite is the greating that is only made more genuine by the picture of the outdoor fireplace. “Warmest greetings from our family to yours.”
Julie you do a great job, you have such a talent.

I like that deep red and the tone of the picture on the front. It has a “holiday” feel, but so subtle.

I love the richness of the red in this card. I also like the way the picture of the family is in the middle and the kids on either end. The front really is beautiful. I like the way the different shade of reds and the black create depth and dimension.

I really like the expressions of the kids on the front, it looks like they are trying to wait patiently for Christmas!

I love how your cards this year have such a unique look to them. After seeing the first few cards, I really like the way you used some of these great colors.
