This year's Thanksgiving card design came from a file I purchased from MyScrapChick.com called "Turkey Box Card." Since I needed 140 of them for my mom to send out and another 30 to send out myself, I simplified the design a bit by using print and cut rather than paper piecing the front of the turkey. I chose some fall-colored papers for the feathers and added a Thanksgiving sentiment to the envelope flap. I resized the card file to fit an A6 envelope (it was just slightly too long to fit in my envelopes as originally designed).
Here's the card lying flat:
