Okay everyone the down low is that her DH is a pro photographer and he took the picture. She had the card produced by this company and was unaware that they had posted it on their web site. She has already talked with the company about it and the orther designs and they are suppose to be correcting the problem.

Good to hear Chefpayne. I checked and they have taken down the page with the PC logo, etc, but her card is still on there. At least they aren't using the PC logo illegally now.

Thanks for the info Erin. Yet another case that some people have jumped to conclusion and reported the wrong thing to HO.

Yep......That's why I don't usually report anything to HO. :(
 
The thing about the link--

I thought that I would be "clever" and post my website without the www. so that it wouldn't be a link (yeah, yeah, I'm a skunk...), but I was told by several people that that would be reportable/against the rules, too. Technically, it's not, but it walks a very fine line.
