An August birthday deserves to pop into full color.
A brilliant red poppy rises above a softly sketched landscape in this birth flower greeting created especially for August birthdays. Its vivid petals celebrate someone whose bright presence, courage, imagination, or wonderfully individual spirit deserves to be noticed.
Look closely and you’ll find hearts tucked into the stonework, because even the quietest corners can hold unexpected joyfulness.
This flat 5 × 7 micro art greeting stands on its own when the lower bookmark section is folded underneath. There’s space on the back for your message. When the recipient is ready, the greeting can be separated into 5 × 5 frame-worthy art and a 2 × 5 tasseled poppy bookmark.
• One 5 × 7 flat micro art greeting card gift
• Hand-finished by Joy
• Printed on textured watercolor paper
• One coordinating 2 × 5 detachable poppy bookmark with silk tassel
• One coordinating Scatter Joyfulness vinyl sticker
• One hand-embossed envelope
• Space on the back for a handwritten message
• U.S. shipping included in the listed price
Each 5 × 7 micro-art greeting design is limited to a total edition of 12 hand-finished cards.
1. Send It as a Greeting Card
Write your message on the back and celebrate an August birthday, a bright personality, or someone whose presence deserves to be noticed.
2. Display It as Self-Standing Art
Fold the lower bookmark section underneath so the complete greeting stands on its own for display.
3. Keep It as Framable Art and a Bookmark
When the recipient is ready, cut along the designed division. The top becomes 5 × 5 frame-worthy art, while the lower section becomes a 2 × 5 tasseled poppy bookmark.
• A friend or family member celebrating an August birthday
• A mother, grandmother, sister, daughter, granddaughter, or friend who loves flowers
• A gardener, florist, garden-club member, or botanical-garden visitor
• A poppy enthusiast or someone who surrounds herself with brilliant red
• A reader who will enjoy carrying the detachable poppy bookmark into another story
• Someone whose courage, imagination, or colorful presence makes her unforgettable
These ideas are for shoppers creating their own coordinated gift. Pairing items are not included and aren’t available with direct-to-recipient mailing.
• Pair it with a small vase and a bouquet featuring vivid red or seasonal flowers
• Add a gardening book, novel, devotional, or poetry collection for the poppy bookmark to accompany later
• Plan a birthday visit to a botanical garden, flower market, nursery, or favorite local garden
• Create an August-red birthday bundle with a scarf, candle, mug, or locally discovered poppy keepsake
• Add a journal, watercolor set, or botanical sketchbook for someone inspired by flowers and color

Choose delivery to your address if you’d like the back left blank for your own handwritten message.
Prefer to send it directly? Enter the recipient’s address and your personal message at checkout. Your wording will be copied exactly as submitted, without edits or revisions. Please check the spelling, capitalization, and punctuation carefully before placing your order.
Each greeting is individually printed, checked, and hand-finished by me, one at a time, in the order received. Please allow up to two weeks before shipping, although I always try to send finished orders sooner.
Shipping is available within the United States only.
