Poinsettia Cascade: a red poinsettia Christmas card
Red poinsettias, holly and dark berries painted in gouache falling down the right edge of deep forest green, the greeting in a light italic on the left.
From $2 a card with postage included. The price falls to $1.50 a card on 50 or more.
About this design
Poinsettia Cascade lets the flowers do the talking. Red poinsettias with veined petals, holly leaves and dark berries fall down the right edge of deep forest green, painted in gouache. Merry Christmas sits on the left in a light italic, with a small line and your names below.
The green is rich and the reds are warm, so it suits a traditional Christmas with a little drama: family, friends, the relatives who keep every card on the mantel. The left side is open, which leaves the greeting and your names easy to read. Every line of wording is yours to replace.
The words on the front
These are text fields on the order page, and the preview there shows exactly what will print.

Colors: Forest palette. Available as 4x6 and 6x9.
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 all of us! The house is loud, the tree leans a little and we would not change a thing. Hope yours is full of good noise too. Please come see the lights before they come down.A message idea, signed The Delacroix Family
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.
- Already missing the noise at your table. Merry Christmas.
- Dad, the drive up isn’t so long when I know there’s coffee and your terrible jokes at the end. Merry Christmas. See you soon.
- I think about Christmas morning in Grandma’s kitchen more than I admit. Thank you for keeping those traditions going. Merry Christmas.
