Storybook Birthday Card

This card features an illustration centred on a vertical stack of three books in deep sapphire, warm coral, and sunny marigold, each with a lightly worn texture that suggests they’ve been shared between close friends. Across the book spines, a short Birthday message appears in contrasting light lettering, aligned neatly down the middle. Resting on top is a patterned teacup with thin curls of steam rising, like a quiet pause before the celebration 🎂. A small bird in soft blue with golden accents stands nearby, angled towards the cup as if keeping gentle company. An arched canopy of flowering branches frames the upper portion, with pink blossoms, yellow blooms, and leafy green sprigs that feel like a tender offering. Near the base, a few scattered stems and tiny petals add a soft, affectionate touch, like a note tucked into a favourite page 🎁. The background is a smooth, pale cerulean field, and the floral arch curves overhead with clustered pink-and-yellow flowers and green leaves.
