Season’s Greetings · Gouache Garden
Chickadees: a winter bird holiday card
Two chickadees on a holly branch painted loosely in gouache, the greeting beside them in a light italic. Names no holiday.
From $2 a card with postage included. The price falls to $1.50 a card on 50 or more.
About this design
Two chickadees sit side by side on a branch of holly, painted loosely in gouache with glossy dark leaves and red berries along the lower left of warm cream paper. The greeting is set beside them in a light italic, with a small line and your names underneath. The birds have round gray bodies and black caps, so they are easy to spot.
Because it names no holiday, it fits a long list: neighbors, coworkers, old friends and relatives who celebrate different things. The birds make it friendly rather than formal, and anyone who feeds birds in winter will recognize them. Every line of wording can be changed, so sign it from the household or add each name.

On the back
Your message prints on the left of the back in a handwriting-style font, up to 700 characters on a 4x6 card and 1,400 on a 6x9. We print the recipient’s address and the postage on the right, so there is nothing to address, fold or stick.
Season’s greetings from our house to yours. The birds at our feeder have been busy and so have we. Wishing you a warm, easy winter. Come by for cocoa once the snow settles in.A message idea, signed The Lindqvists
