It looks like an abandoned carnival ride. I did not see a glacier looking at that.

Never noticed, but then again, I wouldn't be looking for cards like that. I was of the impression that Hallmark was quasi-religious since the Hallmark Channel edited out some language from shows, such as Frasier. Perhaps business is more important than moral values.

I wasn’t looking either. But our local Hallmark put the cards right up front so you couldn’t miss them as soon as you walked in the door and included a sign stating “New Arrivals”. We lived in Kansas City years ago which is the home of Hallmark. Beautiful store there. Founders of Hallmark have to be turning over in their graves. I also will not spend $5.00 for a card from Hallmark when I can get one that works just as well at the Dollar Tree for $1 - but that is a separate issue.
These days supermarkets, drugstores and discount stores have greeting cards for far less than the Hallmark stores. The supermarket closest to me has a whole section of $1.00 cards. Last year, I bought some really beautiful boxed Christmas cards at the supermarket for a fraction of what Hallmark stores charge.
Seems to be a trend, this new interest in glaciers instead of Christmas trees?

I think the same story has been posted a 100 times.
I bought some software several years ago thinking maybe I could just make my own cards. Appears a tee shirt I saw recently would apply to my endeavor: “Measure twice, cut twice, swear, throw it away and buy more”.
Dollar cards are fine. Guess I don’t agree that Hallmark is the very best anymore. After all, it is just a card and will more than likely end up in the trash. It’s the thought that matters anyway.
