Laughing Kookaburra

This striking mixed-media design combines realistic wildlife illustration with playful collage elements to create a visually rich and uplifting image. At its centre sits a detailed kookaburra rendered with soft, painterly strokes, surrounded by layers of drips, doodles and bright splashes of colour. Accents such as a dragonfly, a tiny hummingbird, a bubblegum bubble and hand-drawn sketches add whimsy and depth, while subtle text fragments - including the affirmation "YOU matter" - reinforce the card's positive message.

The composition balances contemporary street-art textures with delicate, naturalistic detail, making it suitable for a broad range of occasions where encouragement and warmth are called for. Its vibrant palette of pinks, aqua, turquoise, yellow and magenta gives the image an energetic yet tender feel, ideal for sending to friends, family or anyone in need of a thoughtful reminder that they are seen and valued.

Presented as an art-forward greeting design, this image appeals to lovers of eclectic illustration and modern collage. It works particularly well for messages about mental wellbeing, appreciation and celebration, and will resonate with recipients who appreciate unconventional, expressive stationery.
