Joyful Birthday Gradient Arch Card

Designed with a tall, centred arch that resembles a glowing sky band, this card keeps the layout neatly stacked from top to bottom. The arch fades through soft pastel shades of rose, tangerine, yellow, and aqua, creating a gentle flow that feels like a shared smile between close friends. A celebratory message in flowing plum lettering sits above the arch and continues within its curve, standing out clearly against the pale background. From the upper left, thin goldenrod rays stretch outward like warm morning light, adding a cosy, inviting sparkle 🎉. Near the bottom, a mint green section grounds the design and gives the eye a calm place to rest. Scattered across that lower area are small five-pointed stars in mixed sizes, coloured from blush pink to deeper fuchsia, like little winks passed between two people who know each other well 🎁. The stars are placed with an uneven, airy spacing, and the plum text remains the darkest element on the page.
