Once again I found at least one recent card to fit Maria’s weekly postcard theme. The little mice below certainly look very happy - and made me happy as well, when they came dancing through the letter slot in my door. As I don’t know Russian, I have no idea what exactly they are celebrating… But I managed to decipher the name of the artist to be Olga Ionajtis. (An image search on that name leads on to lots of other wonderful illustrations as well.)

They are just adorable! And look, instead of a cake, there is a giant chunk of Swiss cheese. When Ella was little, she used to call Swiss cheese "Mouse cheese".
Cheesecake, perhaps? :)
Much happiness indeed!

I like the little mouse in the blue overalls. this is so sweet. this goes on my favorite list
Delightful - I like the little spider with the cross on its back.
Adorable, love the dancing mice and the idea of berries as celebration lights.
Looks like a big celebration with a slice of a cheese!! Happiness indeed! Love the cobweb detail overlapping with the rest of the colored illustration :D Lots of big smiles from this one Monica! Thanks so much for sharing.
What a happy party! I love this postcard, too.
Cheese = Happiness. I thought that was rather too brief a comment so I decided I'd add a wee bit of Latin to liven things up but couldn't think of an apposite saying so I made one up: Beatus ergo sum ego manducare caseum.
Graham, your Latin is definitely better than mine. I had to take help from google to translate that; and as for "making something up" in Latin, I never would dare try...! (It did cross my mind though, when I looked at the card, that the piece of cheese in itself might be the cause of the celebration...)
