Thanks to Scotty for getting this one rolling. :)

Holiday Greeting Card

For the upcoming holiday season take pics of anything you deem festive or suitable for this time of year. It could be a picture of friends and family around a roaring fire with hot chocolate (or whiskey in Scotty's case) or perhaps a snowy vista that reminds one of the holidays...the skies the limit. Just keep in mind that it should reflect the 'Holiday' spirit.

This months competition will have a slight twist to it though. All entries should be set in a Greeting card format (any size or format so long as it suits the image). Feel free to add a caption to enhance the message or mood of the image.

Click here for a very basic sample. (http://www.steeldolphin.com/forum/seasonsgreetings.jpg) You can make it as fancy or simple as you like. You can add poetry or whatever greeting you want.

Usual rules 2 entries per person, and if you wish to have it show inthe thread please limit the width to 600px wide.

Deadline for Entries is Jan 15/2006

Thanks people, and remember to have fun!

Not much of a photo... and it was done in Illustrator (but the rules does´nt say that it has to be a photo)! :)

It´s a classic pop-up card, featuring my comicstrip caracters from "The Hitman".

Okie, Tascha and I made this little christmas card thingie and was planning to email it to all our friends, but got too distracted and forgot all about it :(
Guess this is a golden opportunity to get any use for it, hehe...

We shot this at this GIGANTIC new shopping centre (the first in Greece) that opened here just before christmas, and it's 8 minutes walk from our appartment, wheeee!

Merry belated christmas ;)
