This has to be one of the most appropriate cards for a Grandma I have ever seen, Awais. Perfect... just perfect!

Nicely muted colors Awais and I really like the way you have composed the image. Fremiet

This looks like a "real" greeting card ... very well thought and very well executed.

Beautiful card - really well done! I love the composition, the softness and light colors, and the off-center placement of the sweaters, and the text extending into the border.

Opps! I meant to write "show it to your Mother". Sorry, Awais - and again, it's really special. Bev

This is beautiful, Awais. The soft colors are complemented by the lovely verse. I hope you show it to your Grandma - she will love it! Bev

Very well done with a touching message.

Very beautiful colors and a great "arrangement" of the sweaters. Only thing I'm not certain about is the placement of the sentiment on the card (*). Nice work.

Very nicely done, Awais, although I do agree with Isabel that the Thank You might be more effective on the inside of the card. But wonderful color and layout (as well as sentiment). Helen

Thanks everyone for appreciation !
Isabel i think you are right. my Idea was to keep secret "Grandma" until she drags window to grandma after reading the poem and and THANK YOU but for font you are right ! usually i take photos day before i have to do editing but these 2 weeks i am surrounded with EXAMS and traveling to my Aunt thats why i am thinking less these days ;-(
if anyone want this card you can email me i will send you improved version and with my name at bottom ;-)

This is really beautiful, Awai. I love the composition and color. The placement of the poem is excellent. I would like it even better if the Thank You Grandma were on the inside of the card. There is too much of a difference between the font used for the poem and that used for the Thank You and Grandma...also too much of a space between the Thank You and the Grandma. I've seen your work get better and better. I really enjoy your images.

Awais, your work seems to be getting better and better each time around. I like your layout, the pastel colors, the endearing message and the overall "feel" of this image. Very well done. Sonny

This is really well done, Awais. Very nice how you did the layout and verse here. Love the soft colors and textures of the handmade sweaters...and the way you superimposed the two images, one much softer than the other. This makes a wonderful and very personal "thank you" card to grandma. (*) I honestly like it as it is...well done, Awais. MFC
