For some reason I've always been more attracted to Kinkade or Wyeth, homes and seasons but it's pretty just not the card for me. The blues and greens are pretty on the card.

I think Karl must actually be a direct descendent of Yoda, not Darth! I mean, look at those ears and that smile! Thanks for the laugh - we have a pudgy cat that we rescued too and love him to death. <em>You may be right about Yoda -- but he does have a Darth Sidius face he makes. This particular picture is a bit too, um, nice. Definitely more Yoda-ish.

You may be right about Yoda — but he does have a Darth Sidius face he makes. This particular picture is a bit too, um, nice. Definitely more Yoda-ish. Thanks for the comment! — jws

Loved the card, especially the line "all hail the conquering king?". I agree: The World changes, so does the history pages. One thing never changes; cats always rule.
