The thoughtful card features a beautiful video montage of all kinds of love – from couples to families to pets and more – from vintage footage to today.  While the video plays, Parton speaks to the power of love and that Valentine’s Day provides the perfect occasion to reach out to those who mean the most.  The best part is the video can be customized specifically for the loved ones in your life, with Parton personally saying their name from one of more than 1,000 names.

“Our birthday SmashUp featuring Dolly has been one of the most popular ecards since its launch last May.  And it’s easy to see why – Dolly is so genuine and is loved by so many, and her care and positive attitude shows through in everything she does,” says Rob Matousek, Executive Director-Direct to Consumer Business at American Greetings.  “We help inspire people to connect and make others feel loved and special, just as Dolly and her music does for her fans, which made this collaboration so powerful. The result is a thoughtful, heartfelt video ecard that you can send to a romantic relationship or anyone you’re close to – it will truly bring joy to whomever receives it.”

“I’m excited to share this SmashUp and hope this song brings as much joy to you this Valentine’s Day as it has to me for all these years,” said Parton.
