Thanks, Ches. The "dropping caps" seem to be the winners so far. Anyone for keeping the caps? The argument for keeping them is that it causes the eye to pause ever so briefly on each word. In so doing, it gives more weight to the statement. It's more of a slogan/title than a sentence. @Ches Applewhite. Thanks, Ches. The “dropping caps” seem to be the winners so far.

I've tried to print temporary cards at home, but even the ones that supposedly "break clean" leave a tell-tale ridge that shouts "homemade." I also recommend leaving the back blank for a peronal touch or comment to the customer. They also make great bookmarks, so I always include one in each book I sell. Beth www.bethlamie.com Dan,
