ABSTRACT:
A greeting card including an ornament, uniquely suited for display in an automobile. The card includes a pocket for containment of an ornament. The ornament has a reflective, preferably colored exterior, and an elastic tether. Thus, the ornament is caused to oscillate vertically in response to vehicle motion. The ornament is preferably formed from intersecting sheets of material having a glittering surface, which construction induces rotating and swinging motion of the ornament responsive to air currents within the vehicle, in addition to the bobbing or oscillations caused by vehicle motion. These complex motions, combined with the colored and glittering appearance, maximize the twinkling visual effect of this uncomplicated device while requiring no effort on the part of the observer or user. In a preferred embodiment, the ornament is impregnated with a pine scent in order to further thematically link the ornament to Christmas. The ornament is secured to a glass window in alternative embodiments by either an adhesive coated sheet or a suction cup attached to the tether, and thus is easily attached and removed.
