Artists Trading Cards

It’s amazing how much creativity can go into one tiny bit of art – an Artists Trading Card.  The only official rule is that they should only be 2.5 x 3.5 inches in size.  After that… anything goes!  Some of the PaperArtistsOnline group participated in an ATC swap recently and here’s the artwork – with a Friendship theme.
