Borders
Adding a border to your image is like having a real picture mounted and framed. There's a wide choice of styles. The main thing is to enhance your photo without competing with it.

Play with what's on offer. If you aren't sure, save lots of different borders, then flip through your camera roll to choose the one that you like best. Practice will soon improve your taste in design.

Captions
The caption is also a matter of taste. Different fonts, sizes, colours and layouts can all make or break the final impact of your eCard. Is it for fun? Is it romantic? Is it serious? Follow your intuition. Your gut feeling will guide your choices. If you don't know what to choose at first, don't worry. Simply copy a "real" card you already like. Your own style will develop quite naturally after you've made enough eCards.
