Abstract
A postcard is entirely covered on one side with adhesive and overlaid with a protective sheet. A weakened line divides the protective sheet into a central portion and a perimetric border portion. In a first application of the invention, the central portion of the protective sheet is removed to expose a space for receiving a photograph of conventional size and the perimetric border portion is left in place to serve as a frame protecting the edges of the photograph. In a second application, both the central portion and the perimetric border portion are removed to expose the entire adhesive-coated surface of the postcard, thus making room for a larger sized photograph.
