Skeleton Ballet Christmas Cards

A skeleton in a Santa hat, mid-leap: wrong on paper, completely right when you hand it to the right person. These holiday greeting cards are for the ones who find something alive in the strange.

There is something quietly interesting about a skeleton at Christmas. Under the skin, we are all the same, the same bones, the same structure. Put that in a ballet pose and a little holiday cap and the darkness doesn't disappear so much as it turns into something alive. Strange and joyful at once.

This works for the ballet kid, the Nutcracker devotee, the friend who would genuinely rather receive this than another red-and-green snowflake. It works because whoever opens it will understand immediately why they were chosen to get it, even if the sender couldn't have explained it before they found it.

The set includes six designs across 24 cards total, each 4 x 5.5 inches and blank inside, designed and printed in Columbus, Ohio.

Dark enough to be interesting. Alive enough to mean it.
