Is this an accurate way of punctuating this?

Hi!

I am trying to create a buisness card template - I want to put this under my business' name, but am unsure if it is a sentence. Can someone please help me?

Tender Day Produce is the name of my business, and

Creating and Sustaining; Life. is what I want it to say underneath...

I dont want to put that on my card if it isn't a proper way to use a semi-colon. Could someone enlighten me?

--Additionally, I really like the 'L' in Life to be Capitalized, but it should technically be lower case as life isn't a proper noun...?right but then again, it is sort of in a title...? I just don't know.. Emotion: smile

I know it 'should' just read "Creating and Sustaining Life." but I like the double entendra the semi colon adds thats what i'm going for...

any thoughts?

Thanks so much--!

Hi, The semi-colon is totally wrong in temrs og grammar, and I certainly don't see the added meaning that you want. I would say that most people would want to avoid a semi-colon because they would think of it as unnecesssry clutter on a card. I understand the phrase 'Creating and Sustaining Life', but it doesn't give me a clear idea about what your business is.
