I've always wanted a wife, even (or particularly) when I had a husband. As someone once said about men, women and housework: The best women get is 50 percent; the best men get is 100 percent.
The campaigns for the beads and for recycling at Mardi Gras just write themselves. It would be great to have bins especially for glass bottles during Mardi Gras, with information about Throwbacks and recycling. Of course, it being Mardi Gras, you'd probably have to fish a lot of other crap out of the bins. Slogans: Show us your bottles! Mardi Gras is better the second time around!

So, I was up all night working on the business card design I really need to get printed soon.
I'd love to get your opinion on the design.
Honestly, I had one hour of sleep last night and 7 hours total over the last 3 days. I'm riding the last synapse available in my brane and do not trust me to see clearly.
Here is the front.
Here's the back.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.
bonny, I think it's both adorable and practical, and if I had a dog it would make me call you.

We won’t stop until everyone is gay.
Ginger, I love those ideas! Totally saving them in case we make it to the next round.
bonny, I think it looks great. One question, is the contact info on both sides? Or just your motto and appointment info? I'm seeing cut off contact info to the right on the back, but maybe that's not really there?
eta Ginger, check out this local (to me) business. >[link]

bonny, I think it looks great. Space to write something, and looks very pet-lover cute, yet not twee.

I like the card concept, Bonnie, but I tried printing the design at 600 dpi at business card size (2" x 3.5") and it's really hard to read. The font size for the information on the front ends up at about 8 point, which is small for black on white, much less light on dark without much contrast.

Thanks so much for the comments, everyone.
smonster, you are absolutely right about the contact info on that page. I cut and pasted a text box that I thought I had deleted. I could not see it in Word, but the pdf print showed it, plain as day.
That would have messed up my vistaprint order big time. Thanks for the catch.
Ginger, I was afraid of that. On my old card, I used the same yellow on purple, but the contact info was in ariel and actually worked just fine. This new font, which I love, is great for headlines, but not so awesome in the small print. I'm going to experiment with coordinating Fertigo and Ariel and see what can be done.
Zen and Erin, smooches to youse two.

Oh, one more question.
Is it weird that I have not included my last name on the card? I always introduce myself thus, 'I'm Bonny, the doggy lama.' This is how folks in the park recommend me as well.
It is as if 'the doggy lama' has become my last name.

Hmm. I would have your full name on there somewhere, certainly.
