		<description><![CDATA[ I am giving a painting away next month in August for an event - advertising - I will have business cards there too - I ordered new ones to arrive in time for this event. One should never run out of business cards and then wait to get more - you will suddenly find yourself in need of having some in a time crunch if you allow yourself to run out without re-ordering right away. Approximately 100 or so local area business people are expected to attend this event, so to me, it is critical that I have plenty of business cards for them to pick up if they are interested in my art from seeing this painting - it will be displayed before being given away.
