Beatrix Potter Merry Christmas Rabbits Custom Christmas Cards

Three Rabbits Eating Plenty of Buns by Beatrix Potter, painted in the early to mid 1890s. Use the "personalize it" feature to quickly and easily personalize with your name(s) and also change the message if you wish. You may also change the typeface, font size and color, etc., using the "customize it" feature.

Description: A delightful painting of three bunnies eating, yes, plenty of buns! I love her ingenious use of lettering which spells out the message "A Merry Christmas and Plenty of Buns." And liking good puns the way I do, I also love the play on words (buns like you eat and "buns" as a short form of "bunnies"). Beatrix Potter normally signed her works with her three initials in a lower corner, but she continued her playful use of lettering in this particular painting and placed them on the key tag instead, which I find quite charming.

On the inside, there is a border repeat of the delft blue crockery design and more rabbits from an unpublished 1899 Beatrix Potter pen-and-ink drawing.

About the original work of art:
Artist: Beatrix Potter
Title: Three Rabbits Eating Plenty of Buns
Date: Early to mid 1890s
Medium: Ink and watercolor heightened with gouache.
