My sites…
www.greetingcarduniverse.com/pen2paintcardstore
my new web “store” for custom paper greeting cards with a diverse selection of my sketches and photography for all occasions. You can personalize them if you’d like and either send them directly to recipients, or have them shipped to you instead. Why send boring store-bought invitations, announcements or holiday cards? Support your favorite starving artist – ME. Let me know if you’d like to see more designs or images!
