Card of the Week
As the Marketing Manager at Laughing Elephant, I (Allison) have the enjoyable task of selecting products and art to feature. With my birthday approaching, it feels fitting to highlight one of my favorite birthday cards, which I believe deserves more recognition.
I would be delighted to receive this charming card, featuring a sweet birthday kiss by Frederick Sands Brunner! I adore the happiness of the birthday girl and her cute little outfit. Plus, like many of my favorite cards, it’s blank inside, making it perfect for any sweet occasion.
