Every month could use a little holiday magic and March is no different. For many of us, March is when the first inklings of spring begin to emerge—the snow melts, spring flowers start to sprout, and hints of green grass make an appearance. It’s time to celebrate!
Luckily, March 17 brings us the timely reason to get festive—St. Patrick’s Day. Traditionally a feast and religious holiday, St. Patrick’s Day has transformed into a celebration of Irish heritage and culture throughout many parts of the world and it is the perfect excuse to craft and send fun greeting cards to the loved ones in your life.
Share some luck of the Irish with these printable St. Patrick’s Day cards to color, print, or make:
