Much to my surprise, my Be My Valentine card was featured on the Etsy blog late last week!
The product photo accompanies a blog post about a great initiative from Etsy to collect Valentine's Day cards that will be given to the elderly alongside warm meals on Valentine's Day. It sounds like a great project, and anyone can participate!

The article was written by Bunny Byrne from A Fresh Bunch, a licensing group I belong to made up of independent designers like myself. Bunny writes, "[Brannon's] blog makes information accessible, while her posts are friendly and personal. The clean design helps the images stand out and keeps everything from feeling cluttered." Thanks for the kind write-up, Bunny!
