Wanted New Cards: Friendsgiving for Neighbors
Wanted Cards – Friendsgiving for Neighbor
Let’s all be hopeful, but Thanksgiving this year may still look a little different. People may be reluctant to travel and gather indoors. For those of us who have leaned on our neighbors for help and support, a friendly greeting on Friendsgiving is likely to be well received.
Consider creating cards for neighbor(s) to wish them a happy thanksgiving.
These cards should go here:
Holidays >> Friendsgiving >> For Neighbor
Additionally, please consider designs for a socially distanced Thanksgiving invitation – be it via zoom or outside on the driveway or other al fresco venue.
These cards should go here:
Invitations >> Thanksgiving >> Socially Distanced Thanksgiving
We’d like you to create at least one card for these categories using the Stock Cards function (Bigstock) or your own graphic designs. Remember, when you’re submitting your new stock card, add a little note about the intended category in your Notes to Reviewers.
Be inventive, be clever, be creative. Go for it!
