At the top of the Watercolor Style image, Happy Birthday

A sincere, photo-realistic watercolor scene: a handwoven wicker basket brimming with freshly cut dahlias sits on a weathered wooden garden bench along a stone path. The bouquet overflows with many cultivars—ball dahlias (perfectly spherical, honeycomb petals in peach, apricot, and raspberry), decorative dahlias (large, ruffled faces in coral, magenta, and creamy ivory), waterlily dahlias (broad, layered petals in blush pink, buttercream, and lemon), and pompom dahlias (tight, round globes in plum, tangerine, and antique rose). Fresh, serrated green dahlia leaves and a few imperfect stems peek out; dewdrops glisten on petals, a couple of loose blooms and scattered petals rest on the bench, and a soft linen cloth and pruning shears sit nearby for realism.

Background: a natural summer garden rendered in soft-focus washes—sunlit hedges, billowy grasses, and distant lavender shapes dissolve into gentle bokeh, with dappled late-afternoon light filtering through foliage. The composition feels candid and lifelike, as if taken at waist height with a shallow depth of field; warm highlights and cool shadow shapes ground the basket. Keep extra breathing room and a paler wash near the top for the headline readability.

Watercolor handling: soft wet-on-wet gradients and subtle pigment blooms in the background; crisp wet-on-dry edges and delicate dry-brush veins on the focal petals; transparent layering for luminous color; hints of granulation and natural cold-pressed paper texture. No harsh outlines—realistic proportions, natural color transitions, and gentle edge softness at the periphery.

Optional small text detail: a kraft-paper tag tied to the basket handle in understated hand lettering reads, “Wishing you a year in full bloom.”

The image needs to look natural and realistic like someone has taken a picture, and .
