Walter Müller's snowdrop, drawn whole from bulb to bloom with its flower and seed taken apart beside it, opens to the words "Thinking of you with love." The snowdrop is the first flower of the year, pushing up through the snow, and has long been a sign of hope that winter does not last for ever. For someone going through a hard season.

Add four of your own photos and your own words; we print the card in the US and post it for you.
