Thank You Card with Flowers, Stars and Smiley Faces

Three tall flowers with leafy stems stand above big bubble letters that spell THANK YOU. The left flower has pointed, layered petals, the middle one has rounded overlapping petals like a pinwheel, and the right one has scalloped petals around a ringed center. Two smiley faces sit on either side of the words, and a pair of spiky suns fills the bottom corners. Outlined stars, small circles, tiny dots and two little flowers in the top corners are scattered around the border. The thick outlines and roomy shapes make this a good fit for crayons or markers. Try coloring each flower in a different palette, then pick one bright color for the letters so the message pops. Once it is finished, a child can write a name on the back and hand it to a teacher, a grandparent or a friend. It prints easily on regular paper, so you can make several copies at once.
