This guide starts with a built-in birthday design, applies Confetti Hero, switches the card to a folded format, then compares alternatives. The comparison lets you inspect other layouts before deciding whether to apply one.
1.Browse the birthday card designs
From the opening screen, choose to start with a design. Compare Designs shows the original beside Confetti Hero, Candle Pair, and Memory Grid so you can inspect the layouts.

Select Candle Pair to mark it as the comparison candidate. Review its preview against the original. The current card is still unchanged; use Apply Selected Design only if you decide to replace it, or Cancel Comparison to keep it.

Tips
Compare the current card with as many as three alternatives before choosing a design.
After switching to folded format, inspect the Front, Inside Left, Inside Right, and Back faces.
Choose Cancel Comparison to keep the original card, or Apply Selected Design to use the selected alternative.
Watch outA checkmark on Candle Pair identifies the comparison candidate; it does not mean that layout has been applied.
Watch outEditable card projects remain in the current window and cannot be saved for reopening. Export finished PNG or PDF files if you need to keep the result.
