Pastel Wave Birthday Card

This card features a large white centre framed by layered, wavy bands that curl in from the edges like a gentle hug between close friends 🎉. The surrounding waves move in soft pastel tones—light blue, mint green, pale yellow, blush pink, and warm orange—creating a calm, welcoming setting. Each layer has a faint shadow underneath, giving the look of stacked paper shapes and adding depth without feeling heavy. Near the top of the white area, the text “Happy Birthday!” sits centred in a thick, flowing cursive style in a dark, easy-to-read colour. Beneath the greeting, a row of simplified stick-like figures stands close together, their linked hands suggesting support and affection in a quiet, caring way 🎁. The figures are drawn in warm reds and oranges, forming a grounded line across the lower part of the white space. The pastel waves continue around them, with the curved bands most noticeable along the sides and corners, tapering inward towards the bright centre.
