Christmas String Lights Holiday Cards

The card for anyone who has spent part of December looking out a car window, or whoever on your list still gets quiet when the lights come on.

There is a specific feeling that arrives when Christmas lights go up around town, not the season itself, not the decorating, but the lights. The strings. The way each bulb glows against everything dark around it. This card came from that feeling: three strands of multicolor oval bulbs, soft halos bleeding into white, the kind of image that lands before you read the words.

The text says "Happy Holidays," which means it goes to almost anyone. The feeling underneath is more particular than that. Some people will know it immediately.

If the person you're handing it to has that memory, they'll know why you picked this one. These 24 folded cards, 4 x 5.5 inches and blank inside, are designed and printed in-house in Columbus, Ohio.
