A quirky Mother’s Day e-card with a great pun

If you’re looking for a Mother’s Day e-card that just screams “I got it from my mama,” this is definitely the one to send. From Paperless Post, the light pink digital card features a pair of denim jeans with the text “Thanks for the genes” in orange. Don’t love the color scheme?

If you find an e-card (or two, or three) at Paperless Post that you want to send, you’ll need to purchase a pack of coins to exchange for the digital card. The coins function as credits to purchase the e-card and the more coins you spend, the more elements of the card you can customize.
