Let your birthday kid discover a little illustrated family

Questions
Can my child's siblings appear in the birthday card?
Yes, choose one photo with up to five people, including siblings or parents. Everyone is redrawn as an illustrated character, and the photo is deleted after drawing.
Can I help my younger child read the birthday messages?
Open the card together in a phone browser; no app is needed. Tap each person to reveal their note and read it aloud yourself.
Can we get a paper version for the birthday shelf?
The digital card is free. You can reserve a real paper pop-up version for $17, with no payment now.
