Greeting card concept for sending someone (i.e. family/friend/school/work,etc.) a special message (i.e. a warning or final warning for his/her misbehavior, foul).

Looking inside (!) the folded card (confronted with your cartoon or illustration), the recipient of the card immediately recognizes himself or herself. He or she (!) is a Freeloader. Someone who takes advantage of the charity, generosity, or hospitality of others. Try to show different situations. Situations at home, work, school, club, etc.

- Cartoonesk, serious but fun;
- Wordless/pantomime cartoon.

We expect this to adjust multiple winning designs (max 7). Quality and variety will tell.

Have fun!

    @19 very nice very symbolic. One thing, why is the man holding money in his hand? Did he get payed for carrying the other man? It is a FREEloader? Can you explain?
