NobleWorks has introduced 31 new humorous greeting cards to celebrate all of the most popular springtime occasions, including Valentine's Day, Mother's Day, Father's Day and Graduation.
These new spring cards feature cartoons from RUBES, Dan Reynolds, Andy Singer, Martin Bucella, McCoy Bros. and more, as well as additions to NobleWorks' "Talk Bubbles," "I'm Just Saying" and "Text" lines. The messages make fun of everything from mothers' nagging to graduates' employment prospects.

Inside greetings (clockwise from top left): "I'm only going to say it once. Happy Mother's Day." "Have a super Mother's Day." "Happy birthday. Call a doctor if it lasts more than four hours." "Hope your Father's Day is out of this world."
