Creation Cards are all-occasion cards that celebrate significant "Births" in the story of Creation. Subanen artisans carefully hand-cut and inlay colorful paper strips to form the vibrant images in these cards. The meaning of each image is explained on the back of each card. Sets of these cards make beautiful gifts. The cards are so stunningly beautiful that many people have framed them instead of sending them as cards.
