After appearing on "Shark Tank" in late 2015, creators Wombi Rose and John Wise - along with the guidance of businessman and "Shark Tank"'s Mr. Wonderful, Kevin O'Leary - went on to launch a thriving business providing customers with artistic greetings that create an emotional and personal connection between two people.
