Themes or subject:
Anything can be put on an ACEO art card. From the horse you dreamed about owning when you were little to your family dog. The sunset at the beach, the light house down the road, that broken down barn on that lonely country road. Whacky people, whacky places, ony as far as your imagination can take you.
If you plan to sell your ACEO art work and you do use things to make it more 3D make sure you tell them in your description so the ACEO art collector will know how to store it. There some collectors out there who do not like their cards to be sealed, so offere sealing your card as an option or tell the collector that the card is already sealed. Always include your artist information with your card such as your name, e-mail address, and website (if you have one).
