Citrus Wreath: a dried orange Christmas card
A loose, airy wreath of fir, cedar, dried oranges and berries painted on cream, the greeting set inside the ring in a light italic.
From $2 a card with postage included. The price falls to $1.50 a card on 50 or more.
About this design
Citrus Wreath is airy where most wreath cards are dense. Fir and cedar sprigs curve into a loose ring studded with dried orange slices, whole oranges and a few red berries, all painted on warm cream paper. The greeting sits inside the ring in a light italic, and the gaps in the ring let the cream show through.
The oranges give it a kitchen warmth, like a garland hung over a window in December. It works for family, for friends who like a handmade feeling, and for anyone who keeps wreaths on the mantel. The front does the decorating, so the back can hold a short note or a long one.

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.
Merry Christmas from our home to yours. We are baking, wrapping and slowly running out of tape. Stop in for cider whenever you can, the door is open.A message idea, signed The Brennans
What to write on the back
A few lines to start from. On the order page you can tap one to use it, then change any word.
- Mom, I’m already planning on the long dinner and the burnt rolls nobody mentions. Counting the days until I’m back at your table. Merry Christmas.
- Keep the porch light on. I’m coming home for the pie. Merry Christmas.
- Merry Christmas to the family that argues about the card game every year and still asks for a rematch. See you Christmas Eve.
