Renaissance Angel Bookmark Business Cards

Renaissance Angel Bookmark Business Cards 

Angelo Musicanto (Music-Making Angel) by Melozzo da Forli, 1480.

Let the wings of this beautiful Italian Renaissance angel carry your contact information to friends new and old. These skinny card make wonderful mini bookmarks, too.

They are MUCH smaller than regular-sized bookmarks, perfect for small books, paperbacks -- a thoughtful little extra to include with books you give as gifts -- or to help borrowers remember to whom they they should return the book.

I love the uplifting colors, the expression on the angel's face, and that beautiful Cimabue blue sky between his outstretched wings.

Fully customizable, so you can change the font, font color and size. Delete the quote or change it to your favorite, if you wish.

You can keep the wonderful quote "I have always imagined that Paradise will be a kind of library" by Jorge Luis Borges, replace with your own tag line, or delete it altogether.

This same design is available in other sizes and shapes, along with matching note cards, postage stamps, postcards, stickers and more in my gallery's Angel collection.

More words to help you find this are angels, Italian Renaissance, Christmas, Melozzo da Forlii, angel, musical angels, fine art, Jorge Luis Borges quotes, Borges quotation, bookmarklet, mini bookmark, Catholic, Christian, religious,spiritual and masterpiece.
