Apricot Bloom Birthday Card

Designed with a single rose centred from top to bottom, this card features petals that shift from a creamy apricot core to blush pink along the outer edges, giving the flower a soft, inviting look. The layered petals feel velvety in the illustration, like they’d be gentle to the touch, while a slender stem drops straight down beneath the bloom. Several deep green, serrated leaves branch off the stem, and their fine veins add detail that pairs nicely with the rose’s tender, affectionate mood. Near the top, a celebratory birthday line appears in flowing lettering in a dark tone, placed above the flower so it stands out without crowding the design 🎂. A thin border surrounds the artwork, filled with a pale peach wash that fades softly into the creamy background, like diluted paint spreading at the edges. The lighting stays soft and even across the whole scene, keeping the colours calm and romantic 🎉. The border’s peach tint is lightest at the corners and slightly deeper along the sides.
