    Paul, your comments were very helpful, since I too am working on a
    new earring card. Thanks! 

    Your statement above raises an important issue, a decision I am
    trying to make. I'm leaning toward NOT putting my website on the
    card, simply because I do not want to appear to be attempting to
    undercut the store by making it easy for the customer to go directly
    to me. What gallery would want that? 

    I WILL have my name on it, however, and I'm pretty easy to find
    Google-wise. So the customer could still find me, but the card
    wouldn't be so in-your-face. In any case, I usually respect the
    gallery relationships I have and don't try to ace them out. I welcome
    disagreement, please!
