If you're a pet owner, I don't have to tell you how wonderful and special they are! Our furry friends bring us lots of joy, laughter, and, of course, so much love. We consider our group at our house members of the family! Losing a beloved pet is never easy. It can be so difficult and hurts so much, no matter how long we've had them and no matter what the circumstances. They touch our lives in so many different ways. A friend of mine recently lost her cat and this card was made especially for her. I hope it brings her some small comfort to know we care. Rest in peace, Bent.

How sweet. Our dog, Corrie, is surely a member of our family!

OOOOhhh - I love those colors together. The focal point of the card is just so beautiful with the cat and heart. I also like the rounded corners they give the card such a different feel than a rectangle. Beautiful!
