Birthday
This birthday card looks like a burst of happy colour set against a gentle, sparkling backdrop, the kind of design that could sit beside a cheerful vase of flowers on a windowsill overlooking the Thames in Greenwich. The central focus is the phrase "Happy Birthday," written in large, confident letters that span the width of the card. Each letter wears its own colour, yet they flow together in a soft, gradient rainbow - deep ruby reds easing into glowing oranges, mellow yellow and lime, then bright teal, cobalt, and velvety violet. The finish appears smooth and slightly glossy, as if the ink has a satin sheen, making the colours feel as alive as fresh petals chosen from a local florist near Greenwich Market. Behind this bold message, the background is quietly intricate: a repeated line of "Happy Birthday to you" in fine, looping gold script, like delicate handwriting you might see on a treasured card kept in a drawer for years. The script doesn't shout; it shimmers gently across a light, creamy ground, creating a sense of movement when the card catches the light, much like the glimmer of evening sun over Greenwich Park. Dotted among the letters are tiny stars and confetti specks in coordinating hues - soft pinks, greens, and blues - that add a playful, festive touch without crowding the design. The whole card feels thoughtfully balanced, perfect for someone who loves colour, sparkle, and a bit of artistry, a birthday greeting that carries both excitement and warmth right to a doorstep in SE10.

Artful birthday card illustration featuring a whimsical bouquet of balloons carrying a cluster of fresh flowers, like a tiny garden floating over a soft pink sky. The background, shaded in gentle rose tones, recalls a calm evening walk through Greenwich's quiet side streets, peaceful and full of promise. A loose bundle of balloons rises above the florals, each one painted in calming pastels: blush pink, minty teal, sunshine yellow, and lavender. No two balloons look the same-some swirl with ribbon-like stripes, some are sprinkled with joyful polka dots, others are patterned with delicate blossoms, while a heart-shaped balloon sits near the centre, glowing with affectionate warmth. All the ribbons taper down to a hand-tied bouquet at the base, composed of miniature roses and daisy-like flowers in creamy ivory, soft pink, and muted mauve. Their petals look touchably soft and full, as if just picked and arranged by an experienced Greenwich florist, the stems gathered neatly with a violet satin bow that glimmers slightly. The light within the design is gentle and even, giving the petals a natural, almost dewy glow and catching the soft sheen of the balloon surfaces. Tiny butterflies and star-like accents flutter around the arrangement, adding a fairy-tale note that feels perfect for a birthday surprise delivered to homes near the Cutty Sark or along the riverside. The whole image suggests joy, care, and artistry-an elevated birthday greeting that feels personal and heartfelt.

This birthday card exudes a calm, assured celebration, the kind you might associate with an unhurried afternoon in Greenwich, wandering past the Cutty Sark and pausing for coffee. The background is a series of generous horizontal stripes in layered blues, each band a distinct hue that flows gracefully into the next. Deep navy at the edges steadies the composition, while softer ocean, teal, and sky blues move inward, creating a gentle ombre effect that feels both modern and soothing. At the heart of the design, "HAPPY BIRTHDAY" appears in proud, embossed gold lettering, centred and evenly spaced, with each capital letter standing slightly raised from the card. The metallic finish is soft and brushed rather than mirror-bright, so the light glints across the letters in a warm glow instead of a harsh shine. Just below, a decorative golden flourish unfurls in a symmetrical pattern, echoing antique calligraphy and giving the card an air of timeless elegance. Under this flourish, three narrow gold bands are stacked neatly, each banner clearly inscribed with "Relax, have a great day and enjoy!" The banners look as though they hover lightly above the striped blues, adding depth and dimension. Around the entire design runs a fine golden frame, slim yet confident, tying every element together. You can almost feel the quality of the card stock-substantial, with a smooth, velvety surface that contrasts gently against the slightly embossed gold details. This is the kind of card you might find placed beside a carefully arranged birthday bouquet on a windowsill overlooking Greenwich Park, a considered, serene gesture that speaks of affection, rest, and quiet happiness, ready to be delivered with heartfelt wishes.
