Grace is the apple of everyone’s eye, so the card says it plainly. A branch heavy with red apples leans in from the corner, blossom drifts along the edge, and a wicker basket with a checked cloth sits at the bottom, all painted on paper that looks torn by hand.
The design belongs to September and October, to a party in an orchard, a grandmother’s garden or a kitchen with cider on the stove. It is the card the grandparents will frame, so print a few on thick paper along with the ones you send.
Picture a long table with apple pie, cheese and a jug of cider, caramel apples on sticks for the older cousins, and a tiny basket for the birthday girl to carry around the yard. Grandparents love this one; it looks like something they would have kept.
