Can I write my message inside the card?

Yes. The panel is left empty, with no sample text, so you can write your message there.

Do I need to read Chinese to use these?

No. The greeting is printed in Chinese characters, and the panel is blank for your own words in your own language.

What is the difference between the three styles?

Brush calligraphy uses black and gold strokes on cream, papercut uses layered shapes on deep red, and watercolour uses soft washes on white paper.

Can I change the zodiac year?

Yes. Type a direction such as Rabbit year; the result may differ from the sample.

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.
