Happy Birthday Blue/Burgundy Brugge Tile Greeting Card

I don't think every birthday card needs balloons, candles and a giant slice of cake.

Sometimes a great colour combination does all the work.

The rich chocolate brown, crisp white and soft blue checkerboard feels modern, a little nostalgic and somehow works for absolutely anyone. It's bold enough to catch your eye on a shelf, but simple enough that it won't end up in the recycling five minutes after it's been opened.

I also love the tiny happy birthday tucked quietly into the design. It's understated, lets the pattern take centre stage and gives the whole card a confidence that doesn't need embellishment.

Printed on beautifully textured heavyweight board, it feels every bit as considered as it looks. The matching brown envelope finishes it perfectly.

It's one of those cards I'd happily keep in the drawer because you know it'll work, whatever the age, whoever the recipient.
