Need your opinions
Dec 3^rd, 2008, 9:38am

I have a Christmas card that has been clicked on 91 times but no one has purchased any. I did purchase some myself and can't seem to think what might be wrong with them . Can someone take a look and please let me know if something isn't right with them ? Maybe because it looks like a painting instead of a photo ? The product id # is 249451 it's the Merry Christmas from California one .

Thank you so much
Karen aka Pookie

If people are clicking on it at least its getting seen, and its probably just a matter of time before it sells. Laura

I like your painting, my thought is perhaps the green border is too bright. When I cover up the green border my eye is drawn into your painting, have you tried it with white or a darker green?
I might add I am new to designing greeting cards but I do paint as the urge hits, so as an amateur artist, that is my impression. Like your cards by the way.

Hopefully they stand out a little but more. I changed the font colors and border colors. I did one as a painting look and one as a photo. Yes we do sometimes think alike You know what they say great minds think alike Karen

I know it doesn't say from California but that does open it up to a broader market. I think it looks good. Good Luck and hope it does well. Pam
