Good Morning,

He has an amazing selection of images showing many different occupations and they are only 90p each ( there is a minimum spend of £5 on the site), he has so many to choose from – perfect for those difficult masculine cards.



The image has been coloured with Promarkers.
The papers are from my stash.
The sentiment was made on the PC
