Nowruz cards: goldfish, hyacinth, write-a-message

Greeting cards for the Persian New Year at the spring equinox, to send to family abroad or to slip into a gift. Each design letters its greeting on the front: a goldfish bowl beside a dish of sabzeh with Happy Nowruz, a hyacinth pot with Nowruz Mobarak, and a card with blossom and painted eggs over a large empty panel for your own words. Type a different greeting or motif and the card layout carries it.

• a card posted to family abroad
• a card tucked into a Nowruz gift
• a card for a teacher or neighbour
• a new year card for a school or office

Frequently asked questions

Is the greeting already printed on the card?

Yes. The greeting is lettered on the front exactly as shown. The message card has a large empty panel for you to write in.

Can I print the cards at home?

Yes. Each is a vertical folded card with a clean margin, laid out for printing.

Which card has room for a message?

The third design, with a large clear panel below the band of blossom and eggs. The other two carry the greeting only.

What is the difference between the styles?

Persian tile is cobalt and turquoise with gold accents, watercolor has soft painted washes, and paper cut is layered shapes with soft shadows.

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.
