Our vision here was to create a collection of children's designs using children's book illustrators. These were researched via bookshops and other sources so that a number of different looks could be created. Above all we decided as something appropriate for the next generation, we would produce the on recycled board and the envelopes on recycled paper.

We have cards for very young ones saying either Happy Birthday or their age - 1 through to 5 - by Gail Button

Then Susan Hellard has produced some lovely designs of Teds with their young owners - with a very dry sense of humour. She has also created some delightful designs of children with their friends - toys or pets - with the same wry smile..

For young girls growing up, Jacqui O'Neill has created perfect images of young girls wanting dress up like mummy or perform on stage.

As for boys, Mike Brownlow has put together a series of cards showing some very scruffy youngsters - and more ages from 6 through to 10.

Finally, Tina MacNaugton has produced 4 beautiful images of animals for which she is well-known.

There are enough designs to fill a 48 pocket spinner and a special deal exists for retailers wanting show this range as a concept

Gail Button - Much of Gail's inspiration is drawn from the natural world and its wonderful, vivid, contrasting colours. This love of flowers, plants and animals is also inspired by what her children enjoy in nature. !
