Very cool card. How did you decide to go with the two illustrations that do not represent what you normally use for tools? That being a rope and a hand engraver.

Shawn.........you can hate me but...your scroll is so darn nice I think you should showcase that on your card instead of a cowboy roping a graver. Your scroll is unique so why not make your card unique in identifying yourself for what you do best. Just my opinion

I can feel the daggers from everyone sticking into my back already

i think it's rather cool. if nothing else, it shows you got that pesky graver under control.

He may have the graver under control but based on the lift of his tool and his angle of attack, ..............it looks stuck to me since he went so deep, means he needs a reverse side of his card where he falls off his horse and he can display his cowboy sense of humor. By the way, nice card!

That's why he's roping it - he needs the horse to yank that stuck in graver out.

I like this card - it should do well with a good chunk of clientele where the images will resonate better than the lovely engraving we like better.

Is the lasso symbolic of the air hose?? Is the horse really symbolic of the control box??? Is that Shawn on the back of the horse or a higher deity ???

Are there hidden meanings on a subliminal level that we can't see yet?.....or.................is it just a card?

Hey, why should the Da Vinci Code have all the fun. :)

Nice looking card.........yehaaaaaaaaaaa!!!!!!

Cheers
Andrew
