Striped Candle Birthday Card

This greeting card features an off-white, lightly textured background that feels like fine paper, with a two-line message centred near the top. The word “happy” appears first in flowing black lettering, and “BIRTHDAY” sits directly beneath it in sturdy black capital letters, giving the greeting a clear focal point 🎉. Along the lower third, nine slim candles line up in a neat row, like friends gathered close for a shared wish. Their small flames glow in warm yellow with soft orange tips, casting a gentle, cosy feel that suggests closeness and affection 🎂. The candle bodies alternate through muted blush pink, soft coral, sage green, and cool teal, creating a calm, friendly rhythm across the design. Each candle has its own pattern—diagonal stripes, zigzags, and wavy lines—drawn with slightly uneven strokes that make them feel intimate and human. The candles sit evenly spaced in a straight horizontal band, with the warm flames hovering above the pastel shapes against the pale background.
