Welcome to www.mayflye-cards.com
I set up Mayflye-cards in 2007. The e-cards on this site are an eclectic collection, with many being based on the natural world, or on spiritual images. I generally prefer cards that are not for specific occasions - eg Christmas - so when I started developing Mayflye-cards I began by designing e-cards that can be sent at any time of year. However, some do suit specific times of year and the range is being extended to cover more occasions.
Some e-cards have a simple story line, but generally they are more about conveying feelings: peacefulness, mystery, even a little of the exotic.
The e-cards are mostly hand-drawn directly into the computer, although a few use photography and video. Cards can easily take a few weeks to design so new cards will only be added at the rate of approximately one a month. The e-cards can take a little time to download and so are really only suitable for download speeds of broadband standard. They all have sound effects and/or music so make sure that sound on your pc is turned on when viewing the demo cards. Instructions for any interactive parts to the cards appear below the main image, so make sure that your window is large enough.
Before joining please read the information on the Prices/Membership page about how the site works.
You will not find any advertising on this site. Instead there is a modest subscription fee - currently £3 for one year or £5 for two (see Prices/Membership). And because it is good to put something back into the world, ten percent of profits will be donated to charity every year. Mayflye-cards will be donating money to the Nepal Trust.
The Nepal Trust is a grassroots, cost-effective organisation, dedicated to supporting the Nepalese people by working with them on sustainable community development projects. Working with health, education, sanitation, renewable energy, eco-tourism and heritage preservation, the Trust emphasises local participation and recognises the local people as the ultimate custodians of their communities.

I hope you enjoy the cards; I certainly enjoy designing them. If you have any comments or suggestions please get in touch by email via the Contact Us page.
