Comics Inspired Mother's Day Cards

I get to have extra fun with Mother's Day, since we try to do something thoughtful for our kids' birthmoms as well as all the grandmas.  Our family has a special love for comics...well, mostly Calvin and Hobbes.  So a couple years ago I came up with these comics cards.  I used photoshop to do all the captions, but if you don't have Photoshop or something similar, you could always use a free website like Picnik.  The garden/flower theme was perfect because Little Brother's birthmom especially likes to garden.  We just replaced the references to "birthmom" to "Grandma" for the grandma cards.
