Six scoops, a swirl of whipped cream, a cherry and one striped candle still burning: a birthday sundae piled higher than anyone would dare order. The illustration is hand drawn in sherbet pastels against a soft lilac ground, so it reads as charming rather than loud, and the whole dessert fills the front of the card.

Inside, the printed message tells the reader to go ahead and indulge a little, because a birthday only comes around once a year, and signs off with Enjoy Your Birthday. Space is left below the verse for your own note.

A folded card of roughly 5 by 7 inches with a matching envelope, ready to go on top of the gift.
