A party hat, one lit candle, and the birthday face
Birthday Pup is the preset with a date attached. It is bought for gotcha days and first birthdays, and it is the one people most often order two of - one to wear, one to send.

What is in the scene
Your dog wears a small colourful party hat with a single cupcake and one lit candle on a plate beside them, excited, against warm festive bokeh. One candle rather than a number: a specific numeral would be wrong for most of the people buying it, and image models turn written digits into nonsense often enough that a lit flame is the safer symbol.
The photo that gets the best Birthday Pup
Excitement is the expression this preset is built around, so use the alert photo - ears up, eyes wide, mouth open. A calm portrait still works but produces a much quieter shirt than the scene is reaching for.
The full list is on the photo guidelines page - good light, face visible, one pet, and nothing covering the eyes.
How it prints
Party colours are saturated and scattered, which is a combination that wants a calm garment underneath. Black gives every colour maximum separation. Yam is the warmer alternative and makes the candlelight look like the light in the room rather than a sticker on a shirt.
16 garment colours are switchable in the preview, so you can see this artwork on any of them before you decide.

Birthday Pup questions
Can the shirt say a specific age?＋
Not from this preset - the cupcake carries one lit candle rather than a number. The optional text field is the reliable way to say it: 24 characters above or below the artwork will hold "Rosie is 3" comfortably.
Will it arrive in time for the birthday?＋
Typical delivery is 7-12 business days from approval, printed to order. There is no rush option, so order early rather than close.
Is this suitable for a cat's birthday?＋
Yes. Every preset accepts any pet; only the scene is fixed.
