Once Upon a Birthday
by Running With Scissors
A warm, whimsical illustration that captures the magic of birthday storytelling. A wide-eyed child with curly hair holds an open blue book titled "Birthday Stories," from which a soft golden glow spills upward. Above, a fluffy cloud banner declares "Once Upon a Birthday" in playful hand-lettered type, while tiny stars and confetti-like dots float across a deep pink background. The composition balances bold, friendly typography with a tender, storybook scene that appeals to both children and adults.
Perfect for sending celebratory wishes with a sense of wonder, this design feels like the start of a favourite tale. The joyful expression and glowing book suggest imagination and surprise, making this artwork ideal for anyone who loves stories, reading or the simple magic of a birthday moment. Its hand-drawn style and colourful palette give it a contemporary yet timeless charm that suits a wide audience.
