Mardi Gras is a memorable holiday full of parties, people, and beads! There are many places to celebrate the festival that marks the last day of indulgence before Lent, so don't feel bad if you can't make it to New Orleans! Celebrate this colorful holiday wherever you are, with Doozy Cards!

• If you live in New Orleans, or just wish you did, you're sure to love our Dancing Crayfish card. In this musical ecard a cadre of dancing crawdads boogie into a bar to grab a refreshing beverage.

• Of course, our charming gecko mascot must be involved with the festivities. In the Gecko Mardi Gras ecard, our handsome gecko is, well, he's a little soused. That's what we get for giving him booze before he recorded this card. First of all, we'd like to ask you to excuse his hiccups. He's always like that when he drinks. And we did ask him to speak French for the card, as New Orleans is known for this romantic language, but we aren't sure why he confused the holiday. We gave him a script...

• Mardi Gras is a holiday that's all about excess. Lots of food, drink, and good times. Our New Orleans Celebration ecard revels in this excess. It features a jazzy beat, and many of the things the area is well known for, like masks, beads, coins, and parade floats. There's lots of food too, if you're into that (we know we are), like crawdads, king cake and cocktails!

We have some great talking ecards for Mardi Gras too! Barak Obama wants you to enjoy the holiday in his Talking Mardi Gras Obama ecard. We have another handsome gecko for you in the Talking Mardi Gras Gecko ecard. These cards recite your message out loud to the recipient. They're so much fun, just like this amazing holiday!
