The sender colors or decorates the artwork preprinted on the greeting card. The card can also hold a photograph, art print or drawing as the sender so may choose. The card contains a circuit board that has an IC chip with memory to store an audio message. The sender depresses and holds a switch inside the card to record sound into the audio storage device. When the card is opened the playback device is activated by a play switch mounted inside the card and the message is played. The message can be recorded over until the user is satisfied with the recording. When the card is in a closed position the message cannot be erased if the record button is accidentally depressed.
