Congrats

I love the orange flocked paper on this card! I wanted this card to reflect happiness, since it’s a congratulatory card, so I used a combination of orange, yellow, and red. I feel like the vibrant colors help emphasize the point of the card, which is that you (the card giver) are happy for the person you’re giving it to because of their new baby, wedding, job promotion, etc.
