I've seen 73 Christmasses come and go -- that's a long time to become familiar with the traditional designs! My eyes feel hungry to see something new. Whether I'm making my own Christmas cards, like the ones shown here, or buying readymade cards, it's always the unusual design that will catch my eye.
Altho I'm always drawn to the cards that are different, I usually stick with the traditional red, green, metallic silver and metallic gold. I feel that it's actually more important than ever to use traditional colors: Because they have long been associated with Christmas, they give the viewer automatic orientation, despite beyond-the-norm designs.
