Heart Luggage Tags

My neighbor and friend had asked me to design a colorful heart luggage tag for her. She had a heart design on her suit case and wanted a heart tag to go with it.

I invited her over to pick out the colors that she wanted on it. So the color combination that she picked is of her choosing. I did however make some colors lighter or darker, so that they could be in various shades.

This is the luggage tag design that I made for her.


I added a patch of yellow using Paint Shop Pro, to give her a place to type in her contact info on the back.


She loved the design and placed her order. Later, after she received her order, she said that she was very impressed with the luggage tags; the design was great and the tags were made of a sturdy plastic. She was very happy with them.

The tags themselves are the size of a standard business card, at 2 by 3.5 inches. They are made of durable acrylic, and are UV resistant and waterproof.

Here is a different kind of heart design that is bright and colorful too. The background color of light yellow can be customized on this one.


Both designs have a template form to easily type in your text. You will also be given the option to order your tag with a slot on one side to fill out the identification info by hand.

Custom Autumn Halloween Thanksgiving Paper Napkins

Here you will find autumn themed paper napkins that you can use for both Halloween and Thanksgiving.

It's a fun time of the year to add some earthy autumn colors.

If you are planning a Halloween party, these happy pumpkins will be glad to greet your guests. I enjoyed creating these pumpkin faces; I like seeing cute happy faces.


If you would also like the look of floral, these pretty sunflowers in a pumpkin will do the trick. I created this pastel design using watercolors. The pumpkin serves as a vase.


These cornstalk and pumpkins harvest napkins will be there to protect your guests' laps for any of your fall events. I created this picture by making a simple drawing and added the words, Happy Harvest. These napkins can also be easily customized with your own words.


It was freeing and fun for me to paint these autumn leaves. These birch tree leaves works well for Halloween, Thanksgiving, and any other fall occasion. The yellow, green, and brown shades reflect some of the colors of the autumn landscape.


May you enjoy your autumn get-togethers. Be safe and well.
