JPG and Flash Birthday ecards-
Do not send JPG ecards. They are one of the earliest designs and the better ones are available only in flash. Use flash ecards of decent size. Do not take very small size. JPG ecards have one advantage that the user need not have flash player on his/her computer. But with popularity of flash designs most of the users are having flash players on their computers.

Design Selection -
Use designs that look decent and are light weight. Ecards filled with many animations look over-crowded and do not look good. Go for subdued designs.
