I made a total of 86 cards sized 3-1/2" x 5".

Each front has a die cut with these computer printed words:
This retirement home has done a fantastic job
of keeping their residents safe during COVID-19 pandemic.
They are on lock out, so vistors are allowed.

They have a box outside the locked front doors
where cards & such can be placed.
The Staff collect the contents & bring them inside.
