I also really like how you did the Season's Greetings text, with white underneath, that's got a cool effect! I should remember that for my traditional cards, too. Don't know if I can do it, but I'll try, for sure!

Do you do your lettering by hand or on the computer?

Oh! Hum...
The way I see it would be with a lighting-table.
The kind used by animators...
I built myself one with an old student desk.
Took off the lid, and replaced it with a big glass top that I took from an old TV. Then I plastered the interior with aluminum paper. Lastly I placed a neon desk light inside. Et voila!
You can see through many layers of paper, so you place the text under and move the card about and do your double lettering easily...

My pleasure!
I did this with my students, but with a solid cardboard box. Then you can store it when not in use.
You can also do it with wood. It looks a bit like a stand for reading books. The size is about the size of a laptop computer. The back is open. You can put any light behind it.
Lastly, you can use a clip board, the transparent one make of acrylic. Then you can work anywhere, even sit in front of a window for light...
An NFB animator did this once, the clip board thing. He was on a sail boat and did his entire film this way!

Adorable! I really really love it!! Thank you so much for doing this, you did a great job!
It's fine with me to leave the download available, and if you want to sell for prints, that's okay with me too. You did a great job! Wonderful!
