Eight-layer gate fold card: Rooster 'Neath the Plum Blossoms
This eight-layer gatefold card was presented to David and Meijie at their California wedding reception this fall.

Designed with the aid of My Digital Studio, the card incorporates Chinese tradition and references both bride and groom.
The plum blossom alludes to a character in the bride’s name, while the rooster represents the groom’s birth year.
The following week in Texas, we were able to honor the new bride with a ladies luncheon–at the favorite tea room of the groom’s mother–complete with Southern-style table decor.
What a wonderful time we had celebrating with David and Meijie!
