The blue abstract background has a satiny look to it. Great for your graduation announcement card. The "Graduate" text on the front is actually a graphic image but is editable with the Design Editor. The photo and all text are easily changed with the template. Selecting “Personalize this design” offers you several edit options to easily change the text (wording, plus type font, color, size, position) and to edit the design elements, if you desire. You may also want to scroll down to the section “Transfer design to a product” for a few suggestions about other items this design can be used on.
