Birthday Cards for Coworker
Someone remembers it's a coworker's birthday at 8:40 a.m., and by 9:00 there needs to be a card. This set is built for that moment: pick a design, tweak the message, print it on the office printer, and pass it around for signatures.
The humor stays work-appropriate: a stressed cartoon employee being told to take it easy, a 'best co-worker' buried in paperwork, a pony-versus-unicorn comparison card, and a coffee cup that cannot espresso how much you mean. For something more festive there's an office party scene, a doodle crowd of colleagues, a stack of wrapped gifts, and paper balloons on black.
Every design folds from one sheet of letter paper — no signup, no software, no expense report.
