All you have to do is upload you digital photo/photos to the photo service of choice, select a layout and greeting, and add your personal message to finish your card. Photo cards typically come in sets of 20, complete with envelopes for mailing.

Another greeting card option for maximum convenience is offered. Shutterfly features the ability to import your addresses from your Palm device or Outlook and they will even mail the cards for you!
