REDWOOD CITY, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--In time for the most popular birthday months – July and August – Shutterfly, Inc. (NASDAQ:SFLY), the leading Internet-based social expression and personal publishing service, today announced CenterStage Posters, its recent addition to the company’s line-up of birthday solutions for children.
