Yes, I am a geek. So what do you think?

This is more for design perspective as opposed to verbiage. What do you think of the colors and setup of the card? (The Copyright watermark won't be on the card)

I checked the quote on this card, and for 500 cards runs about $40.00. I must say for a full color, two-sided card, that's pretty good for a random website and no discounts.

Update: I think 'curious' is out; I received several, umm, interesting comments about what people may think that means today. I will probably replace with clever.

Why Capricorn? I am assuming it's your sign. I mean, do you want them to know you're a typical Capricorn or that you have the same qualities as one?

From what I can see you're giving out "Dating Cards" which I think is adorable. I would laugh, but I would figure if a guy can come up with something like this, they are someone I would want to know more about.

And, do they need to be with the C's to match the convertible?

Here are a few I think match your personality (from what I've seen/read/heard of you).
Charming
Comical (was trying to find a "c" for funny :p)
Quirky
Clever
Voracious(was trying to find a good one for Eager)
Content
Impulsive
Certain

Oops, forgot to add!

I like the colors and set-up. The card is clear, concise and clean. The colors are very cheery and bright. I think of yellow and I think cuddly and cheery. That's just me. :)

Thanks everybody! Yes, Saint7, these are my prototype cards.

I'm not sure if I can fit 4 words and still have a fairly decent sized font. Also not sure how that effects the ryhthm, I'll have to read it to myself a hundred times or so.

I looked up capricious and while I agree it certainly describes me, most times I have heard it have been in a negative overall sense. Anyone else heard it as a positive term?

I've never heard the term 'dating cards' and while yes, that is mostly what they are, I'm not sure I'll walk up to an attractive lady and say 'Hey, here's my dating card, ring me babe...';) Though if I can muster the attitude to go with it, it might work.=)

I like charming, quirky and clever and hadn't considered them. And although I think I can probably summon clever on command, (and for quirky I can just be me;), charming is a little harder for me to call forth at will.

And yes, I am a Capricorn, although I really have no idea what that means in an astrological sense. I more just liked the way it sounded. Not sure if I would scare off some folks down here in the Bible belt though.;)

Thanks for the note on the color, I was thinking yellow because while the whole dark and brooding thing worked for me in high school, I think most women probably want someone who has grown out of that. Cheery is good, and cuddly even better!

i have never heard of these.......you might wanna look into a copyright or something for the term "dating cards"......or some variation of such and maybe put them on the site after all is said and done........if you can get in on a ground floor with a online dating service ..or start a "trend" with these you could find it a lucrative venture.....would have to spend some time w/the research but it might be worth it

To give you an idea for Capricorn (I'm really into the Sun, Moon and planets stuff!)

-----------------------------------------------

These are the business people of the Zodiac. Most Capricorns consider doing the right thing to get them ahead is one of their most important traits. Even with this trait, they have to be careful that they don’t lack confidence in themselves. Capricorns are generally ambitious and are disciplined enough to succeed at whatever they choose.

Patience is a characteristic that Capricorns covet. They may appear to be one of the colder signs of the Zodiac but other aspects of their charts soften the Sun sign. They are calculating in their methods and work towards what they want until they get it.

Capricorn is famous for its sense of humor. They need structured backgrounds. One of the most serious of signs, they don’t mind being in the background momentarily because they can learn information that will carry them to the forefront of their chosen field. Capricorns learn in the background and don’t mind staying there long enough to glean what they need. This is very bad on those trying to one-up them. They blend in so well that others don’t see them as opponents until too late.

For work, Capricorns are one of the few signs who don’t mind being at the top alone. And they are not satisfied with anything other than the top. Capricorns do not sit silently when they feel they have been abused. They carry a grudge and can grumble about their situations. They love money because it is their life trophy and is always on display. Capricorns do well in government, banking, building, finance, dentistry, and osteopathy.

Areas of the body influenced by Capricorn are the skin, knees, bones and teeth. Extra calcium is something that Capricorns can use and they need exercise to keep from becoming stiff.
---------------------------------------------
If this doesn't sound like you, it could be you had a different sun/moon when you were born.
