What does the greeting say?

The three cards read 'Hello Spring', 'Happy First Day of Spring' and 'Spring'. The lettering is set as shown.

When is the first day of spring?

The spring equinox falls around 20 March in the northern hemisphere.

What are the three styles?

Gouache is matte flat colour in green, pink and yellow on pale blue. Botanical is fine pen and wash in soft greens on cream. Paper cut is layered shapes with gentle shadows in pastels.

Can I ask for a different scene?

Yes. A scene such as daffodils or a ladybird is a request, and the result is not a promised picture.

Reading 2Blossom branch

Reading 3Seed packets

Cards to send at the spring equinox, around 20 March, to say the winter is over. The nine show the first signs of the season: tulips under 'Hello Spring', a bird on a blossom branch under 'Happy First Day of Spring', and seed packets of sweet peas, radishes and sunflowers with 'Spring' on a ribbon. Each card leaves a clear panel or ruled lines for a message. Ask for daffodils or lambs, and the same layout carries it.

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.
