One candle birthday card

Quiet and modern, this design places a single striped candle, lit, on top of a tall arch holding your pet's portrait, on a clean flat colour with plenty of space. A short italic line such as Make a Wish sits underneath, with a sign off in small capitals. Its restraint suits someone who likes things understated, such as a sister, a colleague or a grandparent, in cream and coral, sage and terracotta, blush and blue, or terracotta.

Shown here with Nibbles the guinea pig, one of our example pets. Your own pet takes their place.

You see your pet on your card before you pay, and a new picture is free if it's not quite right.
