It's about time when many, many people are getting creative to make their own personal holiday postcard to send to the friends and relatives. I think, us being photographers and skilled photo editors, we can do this, too.:wink

This week assignment is to create a perfect Holiday postcard.
Your entry should consist of

the final product, a 4x6 postcard, complete with all the PS-ed bells and whistles, and
all the original frames that went into it - which all, of course, must be all fresh! :deal
Photoediting is naturally allowed:-)
Good luck and let's make that card!
