Twin Bikers

I am continuing to blog as per usual and hope you can all enjoy the distraction. A customer asked me to make two Bar Mitzvah cards for her twin nephews. Jeremy, on the left, likes biking, playing the trumpet, playing frisbee and Scrabble. Benjamin, on the right, has a drum kit, plays the ukulele and likes biking and reading.
I have shown Benjamin playing the ukulele. A small pile of books to his right represent his love of reading, whilst on his left you can see his drum kit and a bike.
Jeremy is playing the trumpet. A frisbee is flying into the picture, whilst some Scrabble tiles spell out the name of his favourite game. He's got a bike on his card as well. Since the boys are twins I made both cards using the same colour scheme, but switched the colours of their T-shirts and bikes around.
The greeting on the card wishes them Mazal Tov on their Bar Mitzvah. Mazal Tov literally means "good luck", though in practice the phrase is used to express "congratulations". One can expect to hear people shout "Mazal Tov" at Jewish weddings just after the groom breaks the glass, at brit milah ceremonies, and at Bar Mitzvahs.

the twins are very similar in their tastes which is not surprising - both play music and bike - great cards as ususal.

Wonderful personalized cards. I hope the boys save them - they will appreciate them later in life.

Wonderful cards, Lisa and many thanks for sharing them with All Seasons. Me compliment about being first:):)
. Can see the things you are dealing with - twins are the same, but also different - I thing you have done a great job of showing both! Twins are so much fun, I have nieces who are a twin, around 8 years old now. Hope you are doing well this time with all of the restrictions? Your work is home, at least. How about your kids? Love to hear how the normal Israeli survives these days:)
