Wow! Great card -- actually, all of your cards are great!! Excellent job - of course, you have fabulous models to work with!

Are they posed or photoshopped?

What program do you use?

 

To make this card we first photographed each boy in his choir robes which consisted of the red cloth wrapped around and pinned, then we pinned on the top white cloth. I had Liz hold treats where I wanted them to focus. Freckles was cooperative but, for some reason, Duke got bored and kept trying to lie down. :mrgreen:
I then used a very old and now obsolete photo editing program called Favre Matisse to put everything together. The photo editor came packaged years ago with a Snappy Video capture program.
To complete the card I took a photo of a hymnal and added that and then found the star and the candlesticks on a free graphic site.
I created the actual cards that we have mailed out using the Print Shop Deluxe card maker.
Making our Christmas cards featuring our dog, or dogs, goes back to 1994. when we featured my old Lab, Jake. You can see his cards at:

My favorite of his cards was the 1995 "Deck the Dog".
:lol:

 

Fantasitc that you have cards going back so far!

It was really neat to see Jake each year and how he grayed! What a good dog you had.

The same for Duke and Freckles! It's nice to see them growing up (?)!!
