THEMES
EASY THEMES/ REGULAR THEMES: It is easy to think up a card, find a reference for it, or an image for a collage. Examples of easy themes include: fairies, cats, dogs, marine life, flower, windows. Examples of regular themes include: flying pigs with hats, red poppies, whimsical houses, Zetti.
ADVANCED THEMES: Usually require research and reference. Examples are characters from books or movies or perhaps obscure themes such as "Dogs in Victorian England."
