A suspect card gives each guest at a murder mystery party a character. This pack shows a suspect profile with a portrait and lines for name, motive and alibi, a sheet of four suspects with tick boxes, and a blank card to fill in. Each comes as a 1940s case file, an art deco style or a Victorian engraving. Type a theme, such as a pirate ship or a space station, and the card keeps its fields.

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.
