    3. Super card, my friend! The little guy looks like he could just step off the card front and onto my desk. Cool effect!

    4. You nailed your needs here, Ginny, a perfect guy card! Great coloring (no surprise there!), but I like that little unsuspected folded down corner touch. I think I'm going to have to steal that one from you. I am so with you on the 'mail-able' bit. What good is a great looking card if you can't afford to mail it?! And (in my own opinion, mind you) why make cards you don't mail?
