You Have Been Alive - Happy Birthday
by Odd Noodle
Clean, clever and quietly amusing, this greeting shows a single striped candle burning against a soft cream background. The bold headline reads 'Happy Birthday' while the tongue-in-cheek message beneath - 'You have been alive for several years' - delivers a wry, good-natured sentiment that will raise a smile.
The design relies on simple, contemporary typography and minimal illustration to create an elegant yet playful feel. The restrained palette and uncluttered layout make the joke the star of the card, suitable for recipients who appreciate dry humour and understated styling.
Appropriate for friends, family or colleagues, this card is versatile and unassuming. Use it when you want to celebrate someone's special day without being overly sentimental - a light-hearted way to acknowledge another year with charm and wit.

Craig Miller
I'm Craig, a UK-based graphic designer and illustrator working under the name Odd Noodle. My background in graphic design shapes my approach - clean linework, restrained colour palettes and simple typography.
I focus mainly on character-led illustration, using soft shapes and muted tones to create work that feels calm, considered and offbeat, and there's often a quietly unhinged undercurrent beneath the surface.
