This adorable card was such a delight to run into. It is the first time I find one of its kind. It is illustrated by the same artist who did similar Strawberry Shortcake Art work in the 80's. His name is Bill Davidson. He did several of the covers for the coloring books in 1983 and also is the artist of the art that is on the vintage record player, several of the records and other audio items. He also is the artist on the cute little minis case that looks like a book. There are also posters with his art. There are several other items his art appears on as well. I love his style of art. You can see at the brim of the planter his signature Davidson. I am so happy to share his name with you. I have loved his art for a long time but didn't know his name. I knew it was the SSC artist at an instant. This card is from 1982 . So glad to add it to my collection and now I know his name from the top of my head, did you? I just love finding art by Shortcake Artists that are not SSC related. These folks were just excellent artist to begin with. We are lucky they got to be the ones to draw Miss. Shortcake or else she might not have become who she is to us grown up Vintage SSC fans today .
