The Chemist Tree
Christmas Wishes Card ($6)

At craft shows, Rovena displays her cards on a metal rack resembling a tree. One day she took a good look at her display and the conclusion was obvious: Chemistry cards on a tree, a chemist tree.
This is a super fun Christmas card sure to win over the hearts of math lovers.
