Earth Day, Marbled Letters on Orange

Large capital letters spelling EARTH DAY are filled with swirling blue, green and peach marbled patterns and outlined in black. They sit on a bright orange background made of small mottled blocks of color. A small orange butterfly with a blue center is drawn at the lower right.

Someone wants this piece because it is Earth Day lettering that looks like a painting rather than a printed slogan. The big rounded blue letters are filled with glossy marbled swirls of green, pink and peach, and they sit on a bright orange ground made of small patchwork blocks. Blue against orange is a strong, joyful pairing, and the small black-outlined butterfly in the lower right keeps the poster-like layout from feeling stiff. A stranger can picture it on a wall at once, and most Earth Day or word-art options look flatter and plainer than this.
