Easter Card Gallery (Silent) YouTube video by JenniferRuthJackson

A short video of the Easter/spring cards I've made over the years: youtube.com/shorts/Xrg72...

Two vertical greeting cards. 1. A green card with a glittery pink, white, and green gingham border. In the center are three Easter eggs, two yellow and one deep pink with colorful zigzags. 2. A teal and aqua polkadot card with white edges. The word "Spring" is in the center in shiny blue, silver, gold, purple, and orange letters. Three gold butterflies are placed around the word.

More cards! I have one more set to post by Sunday.

Happy International Transgender Day of Visibility to all my trans pals, out and not.
