Description:

Yes, I admit it - I'm creating this swap because I just made a card that has circles, stars and textures and I think it's cool and want to send it to somebody!

So for this swap, make a card that fits the theme "Circles, Stars and Textures" and send it to your partner! Card can be made from ANY medium you like, especially if it's weird, and must include all three elements in some fashion. Have fun!

Your card must have your username and the swap title printed clearly on the back, and you should write an actual wordy message of some sort to your partner, because there is no shortage in this world of interesting things to say!

Fine print:
International swap.
Cards must conform to standard USA postcard sizes. Minimum size: 3.5" by 5", Maximum size: 4.25" by 6". Any size in there is fine.
Open to all HPC members in good standing.

Just a note re standard PC size - it is different in different countries - all you have to do is make sure it is the approved size in the country from which it is being mailed.

For example, in Canada there is no differnece between a card and a PC as far as size and postage. Either can be mailed at first class letter rate as long as they are between 3.5" x 5.5" and 5" x 9.5".

lcp:Do we still have to meet the sizes specified in this swap or can we use the sizes approved in our own country?

So Terry has a really good point! Actually the whole reason I put the size guidelines in there in the first place was because I got tired of people sending me gigantoid cards that didn't fit in my card storing box. And so I wanted to cap the sizes people could use. And I did that in a confusing way. So now the new size guidelines are: No cards shall be larger than 5x7 inches. Much easier to understand!
