Abstract:

A greeting card is provided comprising at least one sheet of transparent, flexible plastic material that has at least one linear fold extending across the sheet from one edge to the other edge. As such, a first portion of the sheet may be folded over onto a second portion of the sheet along the linear fold. The first portion of each sheet covers at least a part of the second portion of the sheet. The linear fold enables the first portion and the second portion of each sheet to normally remain in mutual close proximity, and further enables the unfolding of the portions to uncover the second portion of the sheet. A layer of opaque material that provides a writable surface is permanently adhered on a surface of at least one area of the sheet. Preferably, both the first portion and the second portion of each sheet include the at least one area containing the opaque material such that the areas of each portion are at least partly aligned when the sheet is folded. As such, with the portions folded into mutual proximity, at least part of the area of the opaque material on the second portion is covered by the area of the opaque material on the first portion so that writing on the opaque material on the second portion may be hidden until the sheet is unfolded.
