How to send a Tune Smithy musical greeting card

It's easy to do. Just follow the instruction for each step along the way.

After you have completed the card, you will be shown a preview. If you do not like it, you can come back to this page and edit it, or cancel the request. The recipient will receive an e-mail with a link to use to pick it up, and you will also be sent a copy of the e-mail yourself as a record.

Your card gets deleted about a week after you make it. No record is kept of the e-mail addresses.

Here is a version of this page designed to be easy to use for blind visitors: FTS 1.09b cards - skip font selection. It also skips the font and colour selection.

 

Step #1: Picture

Please select a picture using the small Radio button selector.

These flowers can also be seen in 3D. Click on any picture and see if that works - your browser may go off and install a "Plug in" to show it. If not, try the Cortona VRML client. You will soon be able to make flowers and trees like this yourself with my VRML trees program.

Step #3: Text and background

The list shows the Netscape colours - this is the standard list of 140 named colours for web browsers, which means they won't need to be dithered if your recipient happens to be running in 256 colour mode.
