<p><span style="color:#ffffff;">&#8212;&#8211; <span style="color:#000000;">( Nippon Yuubin )<span style="color:#0000ff;"><strong> to create own New Year&#8217;s Card</strong></span>, and</span></span></p>
<p><span style="color:#ffffff;">&#8212;&#8211; <span style="color:#000000;">the images here are ready-made components.</span></span></p>
<p><span style="color:#ffffff;">&#8212;&#8211; <span style="color:#000000;">I found its rather fun.</span></span></p>
<p><span style="color:#ffffff;">&#8212;&#8211; <span style="color:#000000;">For those who can&#8217;t read Japanese, the message written on</span></span></p>
<p><span style="color:#ffffff;">&#8212;&#8211;</span> there are all <span style="color:#0000ff;"><strong>&#8221; HAPPY NEW YEAR &#8220;</strong></span> except the one which</p>
<p><span style="color:#ffffff;">&#8212;&#8211; </span>looks no letter ( right middle ) is a Hiragana character  Wu,</p>
<p><span style="color:#ffffff;">&#8212;&#8211;</span> which mean Rabbit. ( the guardian of the year 2011, according</p>
<p><span style="color:#ffffff;">&#8212;&#8211; </span>to the ancient Chinese mythology but nobody knows why )</p>
<p><span style="color:#ffffff;">&#8212;&#8212;</span></p>
<p>For those, who want to have a fun &#8212;&#8212;- print-out or save and send to your friends as a card etc.</p>
<p>( But it supposed to be received on the morning of the New Year&#8217;s day )</p>
<p><span style="color:#ff0000;"><strong>HAPPY NEW YEAR  2011</strong></span> <span style="color:#0000ff;">&#8212;&#8212; Keep well and keep warm.</span></p>
