Thanksgiving Decorative Signs for Office Desk

Trick Your Eyes: A Quiz on Seasonal PVC Plaques

Think you know decorative signs? These questions bite back.

Question 1: This material bends without snapping. Wood does not. What holds the printed autumn leaf?

Clue: Three letters. Starts with P. Rhymes with "savvy."

Question 2: One plaque shows a pumpkin. Another glows in dim light. Which feature demands a power source?

Clue: Neither. Trick question. Some signs use reflective ink. No batteries invited to this party.

Question 3: A sign reads "Gather." The same design hangs in Texas and Toronto. What survives both climates?

Clue: Not the wooden frame. Check the synthetic core.

Question 4: You see a plaque with rusty edges. It ships yesterday. How?

Clue: Artificial aging. The distress is a costume. The material arrived fresh from a mold.

Question 5: Two signs look identical. One weighs ounces. One weighs pounds. Which costs more to ship?

Clue: The heavy one drains your wallet. The light one floats to your door.
