Vivere la Città


STEP #1: PICK A PICTURE
Select a picture from the list below using the little Radio Button selector. You may only pick one picture per card. If you want to see a full size image of a picture, just click on it, and it will appear in a new window. If it's not what you had in mind, pick a new image (you can check, and change, the image at any time before you send the card, without loosing what you have typed into the form).

After you have completed the card, you will be shown a preview. If you do not like your card, you may edit it and then send it, or just cancel the request. The recipient will receive e-mail advising where to find the card. Many thanks to BigNoseBird.Com for providing the script I used to set this up.
