My Award-Winning Havanese Birthday Card – 2nd Place in the GCU May Design Challenge!

  🐶 A Havanese Birthday Surprise – My 2nd Place Winner!

I’m thrilled to share that my customizable Havanese birthday card earned 2nd Place in May’s Greeting Card Universe design challenge! The theme? Creating a birthday greeting featuring a real dog breed—and I chose the sweet and whimsical Havanese, a fuzzy friend whose antics always bring a smile 😄.

Havanese Dog Birthday Card


Your front is fully customizable (name and age), making it a perfect, personal choice for dog lovers. Inside reads:
“Hope your special day is filled with happy tail wags, sweet snuggles, and all the puppy‑love fun you deserve!”

🏅 What makes it special:

  • Adorable artwork: I captured the Havanese’s playful charm—bright eyes, fluffy coat, joyful spirit.

  • Personal touch: Custom name/age fields mean each card feels tailor‑made.

  • Emotional resonance: Inspired by my neighbor’s real Havanese—I loved watching her explore with curious spins and wobbling zooms.

📣 Why this card earned its award:

  • Breed-specific appeal – dog lovers appreciate that Havanese detail

  • Customizable design – adds thoughtfulness and delight

  • Heartwarming concept – celebrating both pup and person in one card
