Yesterday was our good friend Ranger’s birthday. We had a hard time choosing a gift for him, so we ended up just doing a gift card to Academy since he enjoys running and playing tennis. He even enters tennis tournaments, so I’m sure he’ll find something good there.
For his card, I decided to use this dragon image. I picked up the digital image for free from the blog of Dustin Pike, the current illustrator for High Hopes Stamps. Ranger was quite impressed with the personalization of the card and wondered how I did that. When I said I hand wrote the sentiment and name, he was surprised.

I made a second card without the name that will be going in my pile for Operation Write Home.

What a cute idea for a guy card. I liked it.
