The Blue Button
The Blue Button
Feeling drab beside a blooming prickly–pear, a javelina girl enlists a cactus wren to craft her a broad–brimmed hat. He starts with a plump cactus pad, then embellishes it with bits of acacia, desert fern, fairy duster and creosote, plus devil's–claws, snake skins and even scorpion tails.
Her ears are pierced with barrel–cactus spines, and on top sits a mysterious blue gem that looks like the snout of a toy piglet.
Printed on 14 pt gloss stock and blank inside, the card comes with envelope and sleeve.

Story on the back
A javelina girl, feeling as lackluster as the husk of an old cholla, sat spellbound by a large prickly pear cactus smothered with hundreds of luxuriant blooms. "If only I could be so lovely!” she exclaimed. A cactus wren, busily tinkering with a complex mass of twigs, paused and cocked his head at her. "You have a vision,” he said, "and I am a master craftsman. Let’s make you shine!” Choosing a plump cactus pad for a broad-brimmed hat, he worked magic with bits of acacia, Desert Fern, Fairy Duster, Creosote, Devil’s Claws, snake skins, and even scorpion tails. He pierced her ear with Barrel Cactus spines, then topped it all with a curious blue gem. "It appears to be the snout of a tiny piglet,perfect for one as pretty as you.” The javelina girl beamed.
