I did not see the made in USA. Is this something new, do we have to ask for it? I would really like this added to the back of my cards.

I think this is wholly inappropriate for a site using international artists. The bulk of the work is in the designing, and mine are certainly not made in the USA.

It has nothing to do with the creation of the work. You will aways be known as that wonderful British Artist that has her cards manufactured in the United states to be sold World wide.

When time permits we will change the boc text to read as follows in consideration of our many non-U.S. based artists: Printed in the USA

Greetings!

I received a GCU card a couple of days ago and, I like the new 'Printed in the USA.' If you look at many popular greeting card lines, the ones that are purchased in shops, you'll see that more often they are printed elsewhere. I really think that having 'Printed in the USA' will be a selling point and marketing tool.

Thanks!

Penny
