Abstract
Abstract A greeting card with a removable decal, secured to one side by adhesive. A foldable side with an opening having the general outline of the decal, but of smaller perimeter, allows viewing of the decal when the card is folded closed and also assists in maintaining the decal in viewable register with the opening in the card. When the decal, which has an adhesive backing covered by a protective material, is removed from the greeting card, it may be applied to another surface.
