Christmas Cards 2009

The 2009 range of Down Syndrome Centre Christmas cards have been designed by Irish illustrator, Steve Simpson.

As always, our unique range of cards are Irish designed and printed and this new collection, entitled "Wonder" - comprises four images, which capture the child-like wonder and excitement of the Christmas season.

The cards are shrink wrapped in packets of eight (containing two sets of each card in the four card range).

Inside, the cards carry the greeting “Wishing you a wonder full Christmas time!”

Cards can be purchased through the shop http://downsyndromecentre.bigcartel.com or for coporate orders please call us and we will be happy to discuss this with you.
