but so much of what would make a good greeting card creator 
is already present in kword as it is: abilities to handle 
varied texts and images, frames, frames within frames, 
etc...

further, if the code for creating a greeting card template 
was written so that it could be utilized for creating other 
templates, i'd guess that a variety of uses would soon 
suggest themselves...cd covers come quickly to mind...they 
too, require parts to be rotated and scaled before 
printing...of course kover, and others, already exist, but 
they are single use programs...the generic capability to 
create odd templates of rotated and scaled printing jobs 
would find multiple uses...

but whether such capabilities ought be included in kword, 
or only called by it, i've no idea...a plug-in, perhaps...
