Fathers day graphic

[bcire68]

I'm sitting here with X1 open trying to come up with a nice fathers day graphic for a card for my father-in-law, and can't come up with an idea.

Anyone out there with any ideas on fathers day? Samples would be great.


I know that this isn't a pure X1 thread, but you people are the ones that I turn to for graphics advice.


Thanks

Your dad must have been a ghost writer for Mark Twain :-)

Not sure if I can help with the graphic but as long as we are onto quotes, this was from a valentine from Buggs Bunny to Elmer Fudd. (If your father-in-law is bald it just might be appropriate)

Hair and brains
You have not got
But never have no fears
You're the only walking doornob...
With ears.

On second thought...

When all else fails, why not do a nice type treatment with your father-in-laws name? Seeing his name in type might be a treat.

Yeah... but my wife doesn't like pictures of herself....better not to tempt fate.

How about a caractature then? It is not a picture...

This is what I came up with in case anyone is interested.

My father-in-law is visiting me from Germany, and has helped me with a lot of work around the house (painting, putting up shelves, etc). So this card lets him know I am thankful.

I know it isn't quite professional grade, but then I'm not really a professional.

Enjoy.

Eric - I'm not sure what the card says but, given what you've said about it, I'm sure your father-in-law will love it. Far better than going to the store and buying one.
