    I would check with each stock photography site I used as they have different copyright terms.

    I just checked one of many stock photography sites, BigStockPhoto. They specifically mention that their regular licensing agreement does NOT cover E-cards. This falls into the same category as posters, postcards, web-based applications, etc, used on a product for resale. Designers be aware of this. Copyright infringement is a big deal to photographers as much as it is to designers. As a beginning photographer with my own images on that site, I fully understand. If you are using them, make sure to pay the site and the photographer what they deserve! And, CH I would love to enter this contest. But late coming in, I don't have time to spit out 10 original from scratch illustrations for $200, "audidtion" or not. Thank you and good luck to ya.

    Great work Jad Graphics. Even though the Happy Anniversay and the Happy New Year in the upper left are very nice, I don't see the tie in between the graphic and text. Also could you change one of the Merry Christmas to Happy Holidays an another to Seasons Greetings. Good work.

    Thank you.

    Just to clarify...you said:

    As for the model of use. Our customers will be subscribing to our service and would sign up for birthday, anniversary and other recurring events and an "e-card" would be sent. To clarify, they would not be buying the cards, but sending the images, along with a sentiment, electronically to some else. Our paid subscription service would allow them to choose the card (image), write the sentiment and provide an email address to which it would be sent.

    Are you suggesting that by paying to send a card by email there is any difference from paying for and mailing out a card or hand delivering? Selling a card is selling a card, whether its in a box or on the internet. Beware people.

    #72 Could you move the HB text down a little. Also, we would the card covers not be gender specific. Great work. Oh and HAPPY BIRTHDAY to you as well.

    Anyone, are the images used on #54 copyrighted or can you provide copyright release proof to the this images? LOVE the looks, but the copyright issue are cause for concern. If they are from a photo library or service which one so we can verify their terms of use. Thank you. We really like your work.
