Greeting cards for Basant Panchami, the fifth day of Magha that opens spring, when people wear yellow, children write their first letters and Saraswati is worshipped. The nine are in yellow: a veena on a white lotus, mustard fields with two kites, or a slate and books beside a marigold garland. Each carries the greeting and a blank panel for a name. Type a different subject, such as Saraswati, and the card is made to that request.

  • a card for a child starting school
  • a greeting for a music class or a school
  • a spring card for family
  • a card for a temple or community Saraswati Puja

Frequently asked questions

What is the difference between the three styles?
Yellow flat uses bold shapes in one yellow world; miniature uses fine painted detail with a patterned border and gold highlights; watercolor uses soft spring washes on textured paper.
Where do I write the name?
The panel is left clean, so the name or message is written by hand after printing.
Can I print these at home?
Yes. Each card is a vertical, print-ready sheet with a clean margin; print it on card stock at home or at a print shop.
Can I change the subject?
Yes. Type a different subject or twist and the card is made to that request; the nine samples stay as shown.

About toile

This page is a showcase and a starting point: nine samples already rendered, three readings of the pack crossed with three styles, each shown at the size and ratio it was made for. Take any of them further on the wall with a few words, or ask for all nine again under your own direction; a sign-in keeps what you make, and it is free while Toile is new. The recipe behind each sample — the subject, the style, the palette, the framing — travels with the image rather than staying private to the render: it is in the alt text of every sample and in the page's own structured data, so a search engine reads the same handles a person would.
