2010 National Stationery Show, Part 4: Satire & Snark

More funnies from newcomer Dented Can Greetings. Check out "I'm So Glad to Have a Friend Like You to Talk To" and "Let's Catch Up Soon"....and then the inside of each card, respectively...

p.s. The National Stationery Show has closed for this year (sniff, sniff), but I still have a few more goodies and photos to share with you. I'll do so over the next week or two...so stay tuned.
