    Kilt Themed Holiday Cards???

    Would like send out holiday cards with a kilt theme this year. Jumped on the Internet expecting lots and found none.

    Appreciate any leads to what I'm missing. Even a general Scottish theme would be nice.

    Know I could do one of those photo cards of me in a kilt but don't want to scare anyone...

    Maybe do a google search for something of that like you could print off? I'm really not sure.

    I think my mom is making some of some pictures taken of me in a kilt...

    Just take a picture of yourself or something. If your kilt looks nice enough, hopefully that's all people will look at! haha, kidding.

    Dylan is on to something. For many years, I have made my own cards, and the last year or three have been kilt or Celtic oriented.

    Time consuming yes, but well worth it when you here the responses from others.

    You can use any greeting card making software to make you own cards. I've been using one my mom bought in the clearance aisle at Wal-Mart. Just use google to find any image you want. Also, try yahoo because they sometimes have images that google doesn't.
    I used to get embarrassed easily, but once you fight with a newspaper machine in public, you get used to it.

    Thanks guys, decided to use the tried and true photo card this year rather than try to wrestle with software with my elderly besotted brain.

    Found a picture I like that I think it will help spread the word of MUGs.

    That's my desert camo Freedom Kilt.
