Original Image:
From the reviewer:
The card front text is not very legible against this background. Please adjust the background or text style. Please ensure there are no overlapping lines of text on the card front as seen in this image.
See the GCU Blog for explanation & examples:

Here is another example of before and after improvement for cover text legibility by Angela Castillo of FairyGirlCards.

Nuts and Bolts: Winter Holiday Cards in July.
It’s time to start thinking of new designs for the upcoming winter holiday season – Thanksgiving, Christmas, Kwanzaa, Hanukkah, New Year’s.
Whether you like it or not, as a greeting card designer July is the month when you need to be in full holiday mode to be ready for the shoppers!
Also this is a good time to look at your existing winter holiday cards that are Year Specific and update them for the new year, 2020 (2021 for New Year’s cards), even custom front designs to make them more marketable and ready-to-buy for shoppers.
Why so early you ask? Like everything else, avoid the holiday rush! Time for you to create. Time for GCU to review & approve. Time for search engines to index cards. Time for shoppers to find & buy them (and many shoppers buy their cards early). Last but not least, time for YOU to enjoy your holiday season.
Please take some time to look at what is ALREADY being offered and design something DIFFERENT. Look at current trends is style, design, color, fonts, etc. Explore the Color Connections palettes that Corrie has shared on the blog. Maybe use the next Design Challenge or two to be inspired.
So cue that holiday music playlist and grab a mug of hot cocoa!
