A Virtual Postcard is a webpage that is created when you fill out and submit the "Create a
Postcard" form. It is a greeting you send via the Internet, similar to sending a paper postcard
through the regular post office. Only difference being - a virtual postcard is much more 'private',
only You and the recipient will know what is written on it (unlike regular 'snail-mail'
postcards - which are open to all prying eyes). Paw Prints Multimedia Postcards also allows you
to choose music to accompany your postcard. Try doing that with a regular postcard!
What is a Thumbnail?
A thumbnail is a small version of a larger picture -- the small postcard pictures you see
on our category pages are thumbnail versions. (You can click on the 'view at full size' button
above a thumbnail to see the full size version.)
What is a Notification Email?
A notification email is the email message you receive when someone sends you a postcard. It will contain the
pick-up pass key and instructions on how to pick up your Postcard.
What is a Pick-Up Pass Key?
A pick-up pass key is the special unique code you need to pick up your postcard. If you have received
a Paw Prints Postcard, you will find the pick-up pass key listed in the notification email. You just
enter your unique pick-up pass key into our "Pick Up A Postcard" form located on our pick up page.
Be sure to enter your pick-up pass key exactly as you received it or you will be unable to
pick up your Postcard.
