Anyone else here make them? I've been doing them for a while, then stopped, and now I'm trying digital artist trading cards. They're really fun to make, but I'm having a hard time finding a good community to share and swap.

Here's one I did today:

Physical ones are about the size of a playing card. Really they're an "anything-goes" type of thing. You can paint them, do collage, decoupage, etc. The back usually has the artists name, details about the card, and a number if you make a series. They're usually never sold, just traded.
The digitals are pretty much the same, just made with digital elements. I made this one in PSP, using digital scrapbook supplies and a stock photo.
