Abstract
A greeting, display, or the like card is disclosed having a cutout in a front panel, the front panel being hingedly connected along a fold line to a rear panel. The cutout is filled with a transparent container capable of holding ornamental objects, usually thematically associated with an ornament displayed on the inner surface of the rear panel of the card. For instance, the ornament on the second panel may contain a picture of a tree with small hearts while the container itself may contain a few three-dimensional heart-like objects as if they were the fruits of the tree. The invention provides a further enhancement of attractiveness of greeting cards by securing a transparent container which may include an additional ornamental subject.
