My Holiday eCard, and How It Came to Be

December 22, 2012 By: Sparkle Cat36 Comments

Most of them are for me! The humans DID get some, though...

Look at all the Christmas cards I got! Okay, about a third or so are for the humans — and a couple of you readers actually addressed yours to my human (horrors!). But we all know who the popular one is here.

Seriously, would YOU pose with this thing?

My human intended to print up some cards especially for you readers but she never got around to it. She said she couldn’t come up with a good design. I said, “Intending catches no cricket… and you still need to make an eCard.” So she came home from CVS one day with this cheap bell wreath. It was on sale… probably because it was bent.

I couldn't get far enough away from it!

I did not want to pose with it. What a surprise!

Thanks for making Binga grouchy!

Even Binga proved uncooperative.

Sassy Holidays from Sparkle! 500px size

So my human used her ever-improving masking skills and did the proper thing by assembling it in Photoshop. About time, and I think it perfectly catches my Christmas spirit. Above is the large size.

Medium size Sassy Holidays eCard

This is the medium size.

Small Sassy Holidays - perfect for your sidebar!

And this is the small size. Feel free to grab whichever one you want!

    That’s a cool card. Our mom gave in and did our cards on Snapfish. They just arrived two days ago, so we are definitely late with ours.

    See, now Photoshop….well Photoshop is a miracle! It’s what saves most of us from wearing silly clothes and all that. The Human vacuums with Photoshop all the time!

    Your card is fantastic! Our card usually gets done after Christmas and right now it is looking like that may not even happen. OK, so we will try for the New Year card. Yeah, that should work. Maybe.
