Tropical Santa Series – by Niki Butcher. A fun take on a classic Christmas card. This 12 card set comes in a festive red box with 12 envelopes. A blank inside means complete customization and a card you can send anytime. The story behind the photo by Niki Butcher This image was taken on Ft. Myers beach, and yes, that is Clyde. Years ago, our daughter, Jackie, had an art gift business. One of the things she did was greeting cards. She decided she could make Christmas cards because her dad looked much like Santa! We went out and found a Santa jacket and hat for Clyde, but the only one we found in his size was a heavy winter coat. We also purchased a Santa beard that Clyde put over his beard. After getting ready, we headed to the beach and set up this photograph. It was summertime and very hot. I took several angles of different compositions. Clyde kept saying he would pass out if we didn't hurry up! Ahhhh, the things a father does for his daughter!
