ACEO Cards Are All The Rage!

ACEO cards are collectable miniature artworks created using any medium the artist prefers including watercolor paint, watercolor pencils, acrylics, or pen and pencil.  ACEO is an acronym for "Art Cards, Editions and Originals" and they are actually an offshoot of "Artist Trading Cards" (ATC).   ATC cards are traded or exchanged among artists, whereas ACEO cards came on the scene when some artists decided to sell their miniature artwork.  Since then there has been an explosion of ACEO cards created and sold via many different venues, including eBay.  There is only ONE RULE artists must follow when creating ACEO cards:  Cards must measure 3.5" x 2.5" in size with NO exceptions.
