Greeting cards are great for all sorts of events: birthdays, holidays, or just to say hello! And the bonus is, the clever part is already written for you. Take a look at the parts of a greeting card, then write your own.

Date: Shows when you wrote the card.
Dear Buster,
Greeting: Says hello, and shows who you're writing to.
(Just kidding about the socks...) Hey! I just saw your picture in the Elwood City Times. Totally cool! Of course, I guess that's what happens when you win the Annual Elwood City Pie-Eating Contest!
Body: Here's what you're telling the other person.
Congratulations! I knew you could do it!
Body: Wrap up your card.
Your proud friend,
Arthur
Closing and Signature: Says good-bye, and says who you are.
