in Washington-Seattle
Litte background info:
I took the picture of the background which is a beach (duh!) in Hawaii
My sister took the picture of the peacocks (there is a park in HI that has them) and photoshopped them in.
We designed it together :)

Its a regular sized postcard through vistaprint.
The colors didn't come out as bright as I hoped for, and Im not over the moon about them, but i figure its just the STD's. I definately want the invites to look more prof and less DIY like all u ladies seem to be able to pull off so well.

FI really likes them :)

    I think it looks great - the color and style of it looks like it could be the cover of a book!

    Yay!  Those turned out really nice.  I like the two peacocks and the fonts you used.

    I actually like it tons better than if the colors had been really bright. Here, they seem a bit subdued like a sepia/antique. It's really cool and I love what you ended up with from the original versions.

    That's really beautiful! Somehow the two peacocks together on the beach make it seem so tranquil and stuff. :)

    Oooh, did you take that picture from Lanikai Beach?  Those islands look just like the ones off the shore there.  I love that beach!
