  1. 1.Prepare a personalized birthday greeting

    Start with a photo and write the birthday heading, message and sign-off in Compose. Check how your words sit beside the photo. The Square, Tall and Print options are shown below the card.

You can decide which format suits your recipient before saving.

Tips

  • Keep the recipient's name and message short enough to read in the tall layout as well as the square card.

  • Preview the printable version on the paper size you actually plan to use.

  • Watch outThe preview does not print or save files. Choose Deliver separately when you are ready to export.

  • Watch outThe Print format is a flat 5 × 7-inch card, not a folded or double-sided layout.
