i made about a month ago some (pretty lame) Christmas cards for 
OpenOffice.org.usage: http://ooo.nicubunu.ro/winter/cards.html
to the end, nobody appeared interested and the cards were used by nobody.

the images used are either already included in OCAL or intended for 
inclusion but not yet included because of the server outage.

being a subscriber to the Inkscape lists i'm aware that you already know 
that for the goal to produce high-quality greetings cards with Inkscape 
is one important step needed: printing in Inkscape, we already have 
everything else.
