Happy Diwali cards that glow like a row of diyas
Diwali, or Deepavali, is the festival of lights celebrated by Hindus, Sikhs, Jains and many Buddhists around the world. Homes are cleaned and lit with diyas and lanterns, rangoli patterns decorate doorways, sweets are exchanged, and families pray, often to Lakshmi, for prosperity. Fireworks light the sky as light triumphs over darkness and good over evil.

Diwali greetings travel far and wide, to parents and in-laws, cousins abroad, neighbors, clients and colleagues. People wish Happy Diwali or Shubh Deepavali along with prosperity, health, happiness and success. A photo of your diyas or rangoli, finished in gold foil that flickers as the card tilts, carries the warmth of the evening to anyone you are not with.
What to write inside
Pick a message to start from. It goes straight into your card, and you can change every word.
Design idea
Upload a photo of lit diyas on your doorstep or your finished rangoli, crop it square, and choose "Details" so every petal and flame outline turns to gold foil on hot pink paper. For a night-sky version, use a fireworks photo with "Shadows" in holographic foil on black.
