Abstract:
A novelty postcard and method wherein a thermocontractive plastic plate is initially adhered to a backing sheet in the form of a postcard. The thermocontractive plastic plate is painted or marked with designs, drawings or other indicia. When the card has reached its destination it may be heated in an oven to between 200. degree. and 400. degree. F. , whereupon the thermocontractive plastic plate softens and shrinks to a miniature size to form a novelty. During the heating process, the thermocontractive plastic plate separates from the message-carrying backing sheet which remains substantially the same size as it was before heating.
