Welcome to PhotoCards By Dave.

In today's high tech world, a handwritten note is more appropriate than ever and certainly very special. While most greeting cards are quickly forgotten and tossed aside, a PhotoCard by Dave is not only remembered, but is most often treasured and saved.

Holding our own with the "Big Guys"....

Imagine our delight when we opened the Sunday paper and found our "Dave Cards"  listed among some of the card industry giants in the latest ad from Bo-Kaye's -- Hendersonville's (NC) premiere card and gift shop.  Owner Kay Duggins has gone out of her way to guide and support us with her 20+ years of wisdom and card savvy of the some times fickle retail card/gift business.  But one thing for sure, Kay knows her customers, and she knows the quality and uniqueness of our "Dave Cards".  It's a great match!  Customers now come in frequently to see what's new from Dave. We invite you to browse through the website and do the same.  Drop us a note and let us know your favorites.   We plan to showcase some of your favorite images in our next communique.  In the mean time, run outside, soak up the beautiful spring warmth and know just how blessed we all are!
