Wow did you design this? You know whats crazy? The other day I was just thinking of how there are rarely any Nigerian cards, and how much they would sell, because Hallmark can never grasp Nigerian sentiments to the fullest. If you desinged this, you should think about making some for Christmas!
From feminist to card designer-you multi talented wonder of a woman!

Wow Fems...I thought I had commented on this when I first saw it (could have claimed "first" status too) but I guess I didn't?

I wanted to let you know it made me laugh!

If you think your graphic design skills aren't where you want them to be, you could team up with an artist (isn't the artwork on A Black James Bond's site original? And then there's onydchic who's a graphic artist). It sounds like there would be a market for it from the comments people have shared!

Femi B said...

@GNG-"Fems"...i like that take...thats a new take on my name and i thinks i likes it...
Thanks for the tip, i really think i should look into it oh, i was just doing it to amuse myself and amuse others...hmmm when i make my first millions... i would definitely think of my blogville friends...lol
