pick a look.

every birthday site wears a theme: the paper, the type, the nav, the scrollbar, even what the buttons are called. three are ready.

what never changes.

a look is how the site is dressed, never what's in it.

  • every friend's card: the note, the doodles, the photos and the clip.
  • the island, the cake, the board and all 12 festival games.
  • the card maker friends use: no account, about two minutes.
  • phones and reduced motion: every look fits a small screen, keeps its words readable and holds still when the device asks.
