This week's spotlight is devoted to the power of color and simplicity.
The featured postcards are quite varied: some have gone wild, while others show careful restraint. Regardless of their approach, they're all imaginative and attention grabbing.
I hope these selections show that a little more or a little less can make a world of difference when it comes to design.
