  • Patent number: 5081776
    Abstract: A new greeting card structure, in which framed artwork is displayed on the greeting card, and the greeting card can be transformed into structure enabling the framed artwork to be efficaciously and attractively hung from a wall. The greeting card preferably comprises a pair of relatively rigid panels interconnected by a flexible sheet. The framed artwork is secured to one of the panels. The flexible sheet forms an integral hinge which enables the panels to pivot between open and closed positions. Also, the flexible sheet is adapted to carry a social expression message which can be read when the card is in an open position. When the greeting card is in a partially open position, the relatively rigid panels enable the greeting card to be supported, on edge, from a surface. When the greeting card is in a closed position, the panels cooperate to form mounting structure which enables the framed artwork to be effectively and attractively hung from a wall.
