3"x4" card featuring an original illustration of an arm offering a bouquet of wilting flowers.

This card delivers a bitter twist on a bright bouquet. The phrase, often misremembered as hopeful, flips into a dark little joke—one that acknowledges decline, sarcasm, or burnout. The wilted rainbow suggests something beautiful that’s been neglected or drained, yet it’s still extended forward, like a token of resigned affection and an acknowledgment that things aren’t getting better from here (at least not without some effort and change).

This card is featured in our blog Impetus Inaction under Goodbyes, Asides, & Otherwise.

Printed on premium cardstock, each Offhand Card for Common Situations blends carefully chosen text with either original illustrations or restored public domain artwork. Every design explores the in-between spaces—where sentiment meets truth, and giving a card becomes both an offering and an act of clarity. These cards are designed for real moments—encouragement after setbacks, quiet goodbyes, small mercies, and overdue reconciliations—and each piece carries a handmade, art-print quality that makes it both thoughtful and collectible.
