Description from the packaging.

The cut, paste and print program for creating postcards, mementos and more.

What do you say to a bikini-clad warthog who's throwing a party in your mailbox?
When was the last time you met a one-eyed alien with three antennae at a busy downtown penguin crossing?
How do you tell a platypus in a palm tree to come down and eat his birthday cake?

Let us rephrase those questions...

What is Postcards?
It's the wackiest collection ever of crazy clip art, bizarre backgrounds and catchy captions. Just waiting for you to mix and match them to create your own fun and funny postcards. There are thousands of hilariously improbable possibilities.

Plus a paint program* and a couple of snappy clip-art alphabets, so you can concoct and compose your own cracked creations.

When do you need Postcards?
We can think of at least 4,892 occasions for using Postcards. Here are a few:

  • Aunt Margie's always harping at you: "You never write!"
  • Your best friend's birthday is coming up and if you send him one of those store-bought cards he'll think you're a sap.
  • The remote control on your TV is broken.
  • There's a blank space on the wall where you used to have your ex's picture.

How do you use Postcards?
With the greatest of ease. It's as simple as cut, paste and print. Which means you can design and make a card in minutes.

First, pick a background. Paste in a Postcards clip art collection. Paste or type in a madcap message. And print your comic masterpiece.

So the next time you want to give yourself a laugh, send a friend a greeting, or get Aunt Margie off your back, get yourself some cards that are off the wall, Get Postcards.
