I know. I just told you you'd not need to hear from me again, and mere minutes later, I'm back. But I don't think you'll mind too much. It's just that I forgot to mention that Octarine PennyGems are now available in my Etsy store. One last gift from me to you: 10% off anything in my store. Just use coupon code THANKSKS1 when you make your purchase. You can share that code with friends, too. However, the code expires when my next Kickstarter campaign launches, so don't wait too long.

      I suppose the only combination left to ask about is pastel octarine gems, then...

      Will there be pastel JumboGems? :-)

      Yeah, that's about what I figured. It's a shame, given all the other ways you've taken pains to preserve symmetry, but I can't complain.

      Unfortunately, it's very unlikely. Because octarine is a separate roll of vinyl, octarine JumboGems would end up all together on one sheet, which I would then have to chop up into tiny bits, each holding just two labels. Then I'd have something that would be like a dollar or two with $5 shipping, and would be at some risk of falling out of envelopes.

      Will there be Octarine JumboGems? Only now I've ordered fo Octarine gems, that's going to leave a slight hole in my lineup...

      I'd like to request that this not be the last update, but that you put a link here to your other kickstarter when it launches :)

      Awesome, Dave! You've run a classy operation and I can't wait to order more gems. :-)

    Horse of a Different Color: Labels to make 800 PennyGems in up to eight colors _of your choosing!_ Pastels, your wedding colors, eight shades of nearly-black for Gothic Game Night, or whatever other colors a CMYK printer can create. For the "International" version, add $44. If you're feeling extra clever, you can even assign different colors to the front and back of each Gem, so what you really get is 16 groups of 100 labels. (Remember, it takes two labels to make a PennyGem.) Eight groups will be a single solid color. The other eight will have one of the eight standard icons, each on a solid color.
