Pirate Set Card
 
Shiver me timbers! What in the world does that well worn phrase mean? Sunday International is famous for its open house celebrations held right in their Huntington Beach CA factory. The celebration of May 26 was a pirate party held to introduce this EZ Mount Pirate Set in the playful posh category. This was an appropriate time as the movie Pirates of the Caribbean premiered the very night before.

Playful Posh is a category made to make folks smile. It cleverly provides all stamps to make a nearly infinite variety of cards and scrapbook pages. The genius of playful and vertical inspiration categories of Posh stamps is that after providing hundreds of variations with a single set, other stamps in these two categories are proportional in size so that they can be interchanged. You can see how the skeleton from the Halloween set has been humorously used in other examples below.

So ahoy - have fun and make someone smile.
