A Card for the Ages

Turning 50 is a momentous occasion. So when it was my wife's turn this past August, I wanted to design a card that marked the event in a profound and personal way, one that made "50" something to be admired and celebrated. But along the way, it became less about the design and more about the message. I'm no copywriter, but I wrote this from the heart. And hey, I got "brilliant" from my award-winning copywriter friend Elise, and my wife was moved by it. So I must've done good. You decide. Click image for larger version. Actual size is 9 x 17.
