How fun is this handmade birthday card? That little piggy is so cute, it’s sure to make the recipient smile!
I went with a very simple card design, and since it was for a teenager, I kept the colors basic and muted. If you’d prefer a more robust color palette, make sure you check out my Color Combination Library for inspiration.
