• Due to the seeds embedded in the paper, these cards are challenging to write on. My sentiments were not written as neatly or as straightly across the paper as I would have liked.
• At $3.49 per card, these are not for everyone on your list. Price per card drops, however, with a bulk deal of 25 cards for $62.50.
• I was unable to test the company claim that this card decomposes after planting and that flowers do indeed grow! Be sure to check back in the spring and I will update you on the progress.
