Seagulls on a Mission: The Ultimate Chip Heist

This handcrafted greeting card brings to life a playful seaside scene featuring two lively seagulls, each with a distinct personality. The card front showcases a sandy beach setting, with textured cardstock in warm tones of Pumpkin Pie and Azure Afternoon, evoking the colors of golden sand and open ocean skies.
The seagulls are stamped in rich Memento Black ink, giving them crisp outlines and expressive features. One gull seems mid-sentence, calling out, “CHIPS…”, while the second enthusiastically responds, “CHIPS!” Their lighthearted banter adds character and humor, making this design especially engaging and fun.
Nestled between them sits a bright red container, resembling a packet of fries—adding a burst of color that contrasts beautifully against the cooler tones of the background. This detail strengthens the theme, reinforcing the seagulls’ obsession with snacks and drawing the eye to the center of the composition.
A softly blended blue sky forms the backdrop, creating a sense of openness and airiness. A circular stitched border gently frames part of the scene, adding an element of handcrafted elegance. Additional orange circular accents, decorated with fine white dashes, bring balance and subtle movement to the design, mimicking playful waves or motion in the composition.
Inside the card, the theme continues:
On the right panel, a cheerful seagull stands proudly, clutching what appears to be its hard-earned prize—a golden yellow chip. This detail connects seamlessly with the outside dialogue, turning the card into a mini story.
Just above the bird, the sentiment “Hope your day is sweet” is stamped in a delicate, elegant typography, reinforcing the warm and joyful essence of the design. To complement the scene, a soft blend of blues and yellows creates a serene background, giving the inside of the card a calm and welcoming tone that beautifully harmonizes with the front.
