Snazzy Animated Halloween Ecard!

It’s dark and eerie; there are sounds coming from every corner. And then, a shriek! A ghost jumps out and visitors to the Haunted House scream while others laugh out of sheer excitement. Don’t we just love the Halloween season? It is filled with excitement and pumpkins and costumes and haunted houses!

There are many things we love to do on Halloween, but none of it is any fun when done alone. Instead of calling your pals to invite them to join you for the celebrations, do it via email with a snazzy animated Halloween ecard! Pick some Halloween ecards to send, and include a message inviting one person or all of your friends to come out with you! You can write your own personal message like “I picked you for a boyfriend, now help me pick a pumpkin!” or “I’d like to take you out on Friday the 31st, will you go trick or treating with me?” or even “If this card didn’t spook you enough, come along with me to a haunted house!” At GotFreeCards.com, there is a marvelous selection of Halloween ecards, all animated and FREE to send to as many people as you want to. All you have to do is pick the card, write the message, send it off via the internet, and you’ll be sure to have the spookiest Halloween yet!

Your Worst Halloween Nightmare

When I was little, my siblings and I would get so excited for Halloween and all of the things leading up to it. Carving our pumpkins, helping our mom make our costumes, and getting dressed up for the parade at the school carnival were among the things that we were the most excited about. And of course, who could forget the evening’s trick-or-treating and all of the forbidden candy we would soon have!

After a healthy dinner (to counter the sugar in our future), we’d venture out with the other neighborhood kids in search for candy to fill our trick-or-treat bags. We knew all of our neighbors and we knew who gave out the best candy and who gave out the scary stuff: pennies, raisins, and strange plastic toys. But we never encountered the scariest “treat” of all, though we were told that they were out there, being given out to unsuspecting kids. Toothbrushes, the scariest “treat” on Halloween night, was something we hoped never to encounter. I am sure there are other “kids” out there who have similar Halloween memories and fears, which is why I love the “Haunted House” ecard here at GotFreeCards.com. I’ve sent it to my siblings for some good old reminiscing, and I am sure you have friends and family with the same memories! So send them this card, remind them of the true horrors of Halloween – toothbrushes!

Words or visuals – what do you look for in an ecard?

What is it in an ecard that makes you choose it, over hundreds, maybe thousands of others?

Just on the home page of any ecard site, like this one, and you will see at least ten different ecards for various categories and occasions. Each occasion has at least a dozen choices. Popular categories like birthday, anniversary and Christmas carry even more. With so many free ecards to choose from, how do you pick the one card that you want to send?

The two main components of an ecard are visuals and words. People choose an ecard for one or both of these reasons. The accompanying sound or music complements both.

Sometimes, an animated ecard is just too attractive to pass up. Especially if it is really funny, interactive or has beautiful visuals. At other times, it’s the words and the message it conveys. Some people choose a card for its witty lines or the original poem it carries. If an ecard is really well thought out and professionally created, it scores on both accounts. That’s when you get the ‘Aha’ feeling of having found the perfect card that says exactly what you want to. But that may not happen all the time and you might have to settle one way or another.

So, tell us. What is your way of choosing an ecard? Do you look for a card that has the right words? Or do vivid visuals grab your attention? What kind of cards do you like to receive? Ones which draw a picture with words? Or one that communicates volumes with a picture?

What would be the components of your perfect ecard for any occasion?
