Colleagues pass these round to sign on someone's last day after a long career. Each card front carries a short line: Happy Retirement over an empty beach chair, Enjoy Your Retirement over a clock with no hands, or Officially Retired over a garden bed. The rest of the page is left empty for messages. The nine samples are three fronts in three finishes. Type a theme, such as golf or travel, and the layout takes it.

Frequently asked questions

What do the three fronts say?
Happy Retirement, Enjoy Your Retirement and Officially Retired, each with its own picture.
Is there room for many messages?
Yes. Most of each card is left blank for colleagues to write.
What is the difference between the finishes?
Watercolor is soft blue, sand and sage washes, linocut is bold carved teal shapes on kraft cream, and retro is orange, teal and cream in a travel-poster style.
Can I type a different theme?
Yes. Type a theme such as golf or travel as a request; the samples show the three fronts, and a request is not a promised result.

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.
