Rackcards and freecards can be either incredibly dull or total gems. In Australia we have a company called Avant Card who produce cool and funky freecards. They've published well over 10,000. This one is for a popular women's magazine featuring pop idol, Kylie Minogue. Click thru to see my favourite Avant Cards
