Gin & Tonic and Solitaire

A customer asked me to make a birthday card for her friend. She needs to have a gin and tonic in her hand, she said. She also asked me to show her friend dancing and surrounded by music notes.
She sent me a couple of photos of the lady in question and in one of them she was wearing a red dress. I decided to show her wearing that dress on the card.

This Safta (the Hebrew word for Grandmother), below, has received my cards before. I have previously shown her making her famous chicken soup and outside her new holiday apartment in the Mediterranean resort city of Netanya. This time her daughter-in-law told me that Safta plays the card game Solitaire on her iPad every evening. I have shown her busy with her iPad and added some cushions and a few scattered playing cards in the background.

I am told that Safta loved the card.

Friday evening marks the start of Pesach, or Passover, and my family and I will celebrate the Passover Seder. You can read more about it in two of my previous posts here and here. 'Chag Pesach Sameach', a happy Passover festival, to all celebrating.
