Cloud, Glowing Blue Lettering on Mirrored Swirls

A large, rounded hand-lettered word, 'Cloud', in bright blue spans the whole picture. Behind it is a dark, symmetrical pattern of swirling shapes in brown, purple and olive. A smaller white line in a decorative font reads 'Happy Birthday Dad' near the top right.

A birthday card for a dad who is not a flowers-and-balloons person. The word 'Cloud' is huge, rounded and glowing blue, and it sits in front of a dark, mirrored swirl of brown, purple and olive. Many cards use the same pastel clip-art. This one has real visual weight, and the lettering reads at a glance from across a room. It suits someone who likes a bold, slightly odd gift with some colour in it. The blue glow against the dark ground is what stops the eye. The greeting is part of the image, so it works as a card or a gift print.
