  1. I love this card! I just got the Pagoda cart on Sat.(bought off ebay) I might have to try this out. It is beautiful. Love the inside too. I think I have all the carts, but if not could improvise. My hubby's BFF is my card collector. He has a special box for all of my cards. I love to send him cards for all of the holidays. He would just love this one! tfs Tami
