Grey Dog Balloons Birthday Card

This card features a soft watercolor illustration of a small grey dog sitting on a light sandy patch, looking upward with a tender, trusting expression that feels like it’s waiting for a friend to come closer 🎉. Its coat is gently shaded, with faint pink on the cheeks, and a bright red collar adds a sweet accent. Above the dog, three round balloons float on thin dark strings, creating a quiet sense of connection between what’s on the ground and what’s drifting overhead. The balloons are coloured warm orange, muted blue, and blush pink, each with a pale highlight that makes them look softly rounded. The background stays mostly white, leaving lots of open space that draws your eye to the dog’s upward gaze and the floating shapes 🎂. Any greeting text would sit comfortably in the open area, with a simple dark grey or soft red line near the top or bottom so it doesn’t compete with the artwork. The orange balloon hangs highest to the left, with the blue and pink balloons spaced nearby, their strings trailing down towards the dog.
