I was trying to find a way to make my daughter's birthday special. She loves dancing, and so I tried to find a dancing card. I found JibJab and it was just what I wanted. The music video was customized to suit her needs and I really loved the outcome. She also loved the ecard. The amount of customization given to the e-card was amazing. The company was very nice and helped me out with my order. I had to make some edits and the customer service rep did a great job getting back to me quickly. Very happy that it all went down as wished and they made the birthday one of a kind.
