Still Flitting Circles Around the Rest of Us Birthday Card

Some people leave joy behind wherever they go.

Like hummingbirds and dragonflies flitting from place to place, they brighten ordinary moments simply by being themselves. They remain curious, involved, energetic, and wonderfully difficult to keep up with.

Still Flitting Circles Around the Rest of Us celebrates the happy soul who makes the world lighter simply by showing up. It’s a smile, an affectionate thank-you, and a birthday wish all wrapped into one colorful greeting.

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 bookmark.

You’ll Receive

• One 5 × 7 flat micro art greeting card gift
• Hand-finished by Joy
• Printed on textured watercolor paper
• One coordinating 2 × 5 detachable bookmark with silk tassel
• One coordinating Scatter Joyfulness vinyl sticker
• One hand-embossed envelope
• Space on the back for your handwritten message
• U.S. shipping included in the listed price

Only 12 cards of this design will ever be made.

Three Joyful Uses

1. Greet

Write your message on the back and celebrate someone whose energy, curiosity, and joyful presence keep everyone else happily trying to catch up.

2. Display

Fold the lower bookmark section underneath so the complete greeting stands on its own for display.

3. Keep

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 bookmark.

Who This Card Is Perfect For

Gift Pairing Ideas

These ideas are for shoppers creating their own coordinated gift. Pairing items are not included and aren’t available with direct-to-recipient mailing.

• Add an easy-to-clean hummingbird feeder for someone who loves watching garden visitors
• Pair it with pollinator-friendly flower seeds or a flowering plant selected for the recipient’s growing region
• Include a garden-center gift card and turn it into an invitation for a birthday wander together
• Add a hummingbird ornament, dragonfly garden stake, nature journal, or pair of compact binoculars
• Create a birthday “flight plan” with three small outings and let the recipient choose where to flit first
• Plan a morning at a botanical garden, wildlife refuge, or favorite walking trail followed by birthday coffee

Every screen seems to have its own opinion about color. Shades may vary slightly from device to device, and the textured watercolor paper may influence how they appear in person.

Because every piece is made in a limited edition, all sales are final. If your order arrives damaged or you receive the wrong item, please contact me within seven days of delivery and include a clear photo. I’ll make it right.
