Ofrenda 7-Card Bilingual Printables

Seven printable cards that honor the ofrenda tradition of Día de Muertos (Nov 1–2). They treat death as part of a process that leads to more life: marigold paths, a chair kept for someone, the monarch's return, pan de muerto, papel picado, a calavera, and a candlelit night vigil.

Each card carries a short line in Spanish and English, written for those we remember and for the people who gather to remember them. The designs come from Heartwood, a Carleton imprint, and grow out of years of family life in Mexico.
