297 is exquisite!
I am stunned by the level of talent. Some leave me wondering if they are photos or paintings.
These are incredible. The cat with the tree is really something.
The photo of the hydrangea is gorgeous! You really should do a box of all flowers on the front of the cards, all blank inside.
I wish that picture of the bird was close up. I love birds and butterflies and they make such cheerful cards.
I look forward to seeing the new crop of finalists for the scholarship contest. You get some professional looking entries. Good luck to all!
Ok, I have 2 favorites. Definitely that cute little bird on a reed and that super colorful flower. Such a great close-up of the petals!
I admire all the talent your scholarship entrants have shown through the years. I wish them all the best of luck in the contest and in the future.
I guess I’m sentimental because I love the drawing of the toys. Reminds me of toys in the attic when I was a little girl. Very appropriate for Christmas.
I just started the school year as an art teacher in a middle school. Too bad my students are too young to enter the scholarship contest. I will mention it to them in case you’re still running it when they get to high school.
My vote is for the card with the nutcracker looking sort of guy & of course the cat.
Who doesn’t love pet cards/photos.
Please pick that beautiful flower as a winner. It’s so colorful and cheerful!
It’s such a pleasure to see students participate in your scholarship contest. Even students who don’t plan on having a career in art can try to win. That’s very fair.
I came here from Hungary over 40 years ago and I am still amazed at the generosity of the people here. Your company is a wonderful example of giving young people a helping hand.
Wow, these are all amazing! Best of luck to all participants and to the judges for their difficult decision.
The photo of the flower is really done well. You can see the drops of dew on the petals. I think that’s a winner for a get well card or a blank note card.
I have a favorite but I don’t want to tell. I’ll vote instead of revealing it. I am looking forward to seeing the Round 3 winners.
That one picture with the wild sky gave me an idea. What if you did a box of nature scenes, photos of sunsets, clouds, etc. That would make a nice assortment box.
I’ll be so glad to see the winner’s card next year on your website. I hope it’ll be one of the cards I voted for. I’d like to see a new card with lots of red & green & gold on it.
That toy soldier card is really stunning. It would certainly stand out on black paper. And toy soldiers are a traditional decoration for the holidays, as much as toy trains and gingerbread cookies.
I like the elegant Xmas tree in the window entry. With all the white lights on the tree it lights up that corner of the room for sure.
The photo of the toy soldier is just the best. My kids have gone to see the tree in NYC for years and the holiday lights make it a wonderland for them. I vote for that photo to win.
Coming from horse country in Kentucky I have to favor the drawing of the horse. I give credit to all the young artists who enter and wish them all good luck.
barn photo. the lighting on that looks really great.
Astounding talent! The art is extraordinary. Great work everyone! And good luck!
I am a big fan of photography. Looks like a lot of talented photographers are in the running this year.
That cat really looks in awe. Or scared!
I love seeing all the different card ideas. It is great to see talent in young people.
I love 300 – it sets a peaceful homey Christmas scene.
I really like 257 with the round tree and bright colors! So many talented artist! Good luck to all!
