Published Work: Greeting Cards

Illustration: Ellen Blonder	As a professional greeting card writer, Rita has written hundreds of cards for companies including Recycled Paper Products, Marcel Schurman, Portal Publications, Paramount, Northern Exposure, and Landmark. A winner of two Louie Awards (the "Oscar" of the greeting card industry), she specializes in humor, but occasionally lapses into verse: "The smile sparkles, the eye twinkles, there's so much love, but so few wrinkles."

	Unfortunately, this card of Rita's is true. Fortunately, it's been a big seller. Greeting cards normally have a quick turnover rate, but some of her cards -- like this one for Marcel Schurman Publishing -- have come back year after year. The artist is Peter Babakitis, who also produced the video Classic Stories for Children, which won Rita her second Emmy. (mouse over the card to see the inside text)
