2008 Halloween Countdown 31: Elvira Greeting Cards

I was lucky enough to find three Elvira greeting cards at a local supermarket that Hallmark put out back in the late 1980s. I'm not sure how many were actually released but here are the scanned images:

Elvira birthday card from 1987

Outside has "Hairy Spiders? Ha! What a laugh! Slimey snakes? Get serious! Gross monsters? Love it!"

Inside has "Another birthday? Woooooo...scary!"

Elvira Christmas card from 1987

Outside has "You should get lots of presents this Christmas, because I told Santa you've been good all year!"

Inside has "Fortunately, I didn't tell him WHAT! Merry Christmas!"

Elvira's Halloween card from 1988

Outside has "Trick or treat!"

Inside has "Either way, it'll be fun!"

If you'll looking for some online animated graphics to add to your blog, myspace profile or website, then you will find some with Elvira at ButterFunk.com:

I remember Spencer Gifts having some cards too... Mid-Eighties probably. No pics that are not famous anyway.

Great job this month, BTW. I'd have been hard pressed to post anything but pics all month, much less find interesting/unusual stuff!
