Since it was brought up...here it is without all the scrolling. Thanks again Robert.
I really like this part of it:

Your title should refer to the section the card would appear in the store, i.e. Birthday, Anniversary, Friendship, Sympathy, etc.
In this context, "should" denotes a requirement; a title that does not include the appropriate section of the store's rack is not meeting the challenge. See the preceding example of a Biology exam where the professor says "You answer should include "A" and "B".
In this context, "refer" is much more wide open. It doesn't say "Your title should consist ONLY of the section in the store's rack", it says you must REFER to that section. Thus, see the example of the photograph of a roadkill cat and the title "Condolences on the loss of your pet". This title, to me, would be a prototype for an excellent title in this challenge.

Some who leave are making the site better by their absence.

Well, here it is...the challenge is out there. Description reads: Take a picture for one of those "blank inside" greeting cards. Your title should refer to the section the card would appear in the store, i.e. Birthday, Anniversary, Friendship, Sympathy, etc.
.
Appears that the "section" nameplates became MUCH longer in many stores around the world. Some nice messages in the titles however that would be great text for inside those blank cards. ;^)

Now that I see nobody used my idea I can share it:
Title: Sympathy
I did not enter this just because I was laughing too hard to ever enter it..... I probably would have gotten a lot of funny comments. Either way I couldn't get it the way I wanted. As you can see the prop is kinda jagged. Also my skin color is off a bit. But I will use it if I see a brown ribbon.

Yeah I was going to enter it with the title:
Sympathy: Sorry you got your ass whopped on DPC
But then I read this thread and went with just Sympathy and it didn't have quite the same punch so I said the hell with it and didn't enter.

I left this site and came back for a look now that my subscription is about to lapse. Thanks for having this thread front and center so I remembered why I left...

That's too bad. Your image could have stood on it's own quite well without trying to tell a story with the title.
