RAMADAN KAREEM

To mark this begining I have come with two designs of Ramadan e-cards. You would think that what e-card, its quite old and now its not that popular as it used to be. This time its different because these e-card are to wish the blessings of Ramadan to the members of two FACEBOOK groups “AULIYA ALLAH” and “Darbar-e-Aliya Ghamkol Sharif”

What I came across while working on these was the pleasure i could feel, that I am contributing for a good purpose. Normally you are exhausted and unwilling to work for anyone without any cash inflows but when it is Ramadan then you never know BRAIN WORKS!
