My husband's grandma asked us to make an invitation for their upcoming reunion. She said "just make it one page" and gave me the text. How fun! Their family grew up on a ranch, with lots of cowboys and ropers, and that's where the reunion will be. I had fun making this invite and the RSVP cards to go with it.
They're black and white by request. Color would've been fun.
I used Photoshop CS2.
