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.
Get up...get up, you stupid piece of... What did you do that for? What's wrong with you? Didn't you hear a word he said? All of you! You think there's someone just going to drop money on you?! Money they could use?! Well, there ain't people like that. There's just people like me.

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.

A dress should be tight enough to show you're a woman but loose enough to flee from zombies. — Ginger
Hmm. I would have your full name on there somewhere, certainly.

In Gabon, Africa I knew of one oil service company who an actual account named "bribes & extortion". Unsurprisingly it was Haliburton. (Cheney's last boss before he became VP).

Ginger, I got your email yesterday at 5:30 and responded with the font attachment and comments.
Did you not get that?
eta: my system tells me I sent the message about a half hour after I received yours yesterday. Could it have gone into your spam filter due to the attachment?
In any case, I just resent it. Please let me know when you get it.
