A Happy Easter card to a wonderful cousin and his wife highlighting two adorable penguins, one is wearing a fancy hat looking rather dapper and the other is holding a basket of beautifully decorated Easter eggs standing on a polka dot floor against a blue striped background with blue text on a banner decorated with bunnies. Original design by Laurie Schneider, elements by La Galerie de Jackie, Digital Designs by Elena. The tradition of giving eggs at Easter has been traced back to Egyptians, Persians, Gauls, Greeks and Romans, who saw the egg as a symbol of life. Medieval Easter eggs were boiled with onions to give them a golden sheen. Edward I, however, went one better and in 1290 he ordered 450 eggs to be covered in gold leaf and given as Easter gifts.
