C is for Cards

C is for comically-entertaining cleverly-amusing charmingly-witty cards!!!!

Inspired by EveryDogsDelight's humor, the Pearls of Wisdom for a Happy Marriage card reads:

Front: "Here are three pearls of wisdom for a happy marriage..."

Inside: "1) Communication, 2) Dedication, and 3) Fornication !!!"

This particular card comes in hues of tangerine, light blue, purple, and yellow. If you are interested in a custom card - contact me.

As always, 15% of all purchases at Elephant Dance are donated to my Help the Puppies Campaign. I am also co-leader of EFA: Etsy For Animals and try my best to help animals by helping other artists help animals.
