I love metal embellishments in art work. These old tags are made of a thin, silver metal (aluminium?), with black printing, as shown.

How about attaching a vintage, clipart engine picture to the top half and stamping some meaningless numbers in the boxes? Then, stick it on the front of a card and give it to the man in your life. He might take a different view of your altered art addiction.

By the way, the stripes are not on the tags; they're from my scanner.
