Make Your Own Greeting Cards

It's time to start thinking about sending your Holiday greeting cards. Sure, you can just go out and buy something off the shelf, but why not make it a lot more special by using one of your own photos or drawings and sending something personalized? If it won't offend your less-technologically-advanced friends and family, you can even save the postage and send your Holiday cards by email, like I usually do. Whether you use the popular commercial software, or free software, these tutorials should help you create a nice personalized greeting card.
