Original greeting cards that make a statement

hen you care enough to say the very best, especially in this day and age of evites and electronic greeting cards (we hate those), why not say it with a flair? OCD, or Obsessive Compulsive Design, offers alternatives to the trite and corny with original, classy, and eclectic cards (the old-fashioned kind you send by mail or hand to friends, but in decidedly contemporary styles) that reflect the artistic flair of the South End, where they're made. They're sold in Neiman Marcus, Papyrus, the Museum of Fine Arts, and other discerning stores and museum shops in the United States and Europe, but here's the secret: OCD has its own retail store hidden away in SoWa with its full line of greeting cards, invitations, double-sided gift wrap, gift tags, bags, and boxes.
