Anyone use Vista Print? Help me pick a card!

I think I'm going to use Vista Print for my business cards. I was looking at all the different backgrounds for the cards and thought one of these might be the best for my services (belly casting and babywearing services):

Which do you think would be best?

I would go with number 1. I haven't ever noticed that graphic on there somehow. I would use at least one bright color for the text to make it stand out from a pile of other cards. #3 was cute but didn't give off the right feel to me for a doula. #2 I didn't like how the baby is already sitting up.

I also like #1. I may have to use that one when I reprint my cards after I receive my certification.

I love Number 1 very cute. Number 2 is cute except the baby looks like he is not very happy.

I use Vista Print. I like them.

I'm gonna disagree with everyone OL

I use vistaprint, but I always design my own cards/notecards etc using my own images. The reason being the predesigned cards are what *everyone* seems to be using, even here in town and I don't want my card to look like someone else's.

Also the same reason I don't really care for "premade" website templates and I don't really even like my own website that much because it has limitations and looks like a lot of other sites that use the same program.

So, I uploaded a picture of a pregnant tummy with the family's hands on it I took and use that image for my business cards and Note cards and it's also on my website. Then I designed my own layout for text and have my business name, a great quote, and my contact information.
