Hi there,
Not sure if you realized it, but the last card #20 has a cool optical illusion to it. if you scroll up and down you can see the card moving. I’d be curious as to if that worked with the actual card or if it’s just on screen (or embarrassingly just MY screen. o.o )
Very nice. The embossing really classes up these business cards. Huge impact.
