Sorry Pug Card shows a pug photo with a wrinkled brow and big, pleading eyes, and the printed line Mistakes were made. sits right beside it. The wording admits something went wrong without saying who was responsible, and the dog's face does the rest. It is made for anyone who owes an apology and would rather offer it with a smile.

Ships with a kraft envelope; envelope color in photo may vary.

The print at a glance

The main subject is a close-up of a fawn pug with a black mask, dark round eyes and folded skin across the forehead. The dog fills the right side of the card and looks slightly up, which gives the expression a hopeful, sorry look. Its ears fold back neatly and its chest fades into a soft cream tone at the bottom edge.

On the left, the words Mistakes were made. run in a dark, classic serif with a period at the end. The lettering is small enough that the dog stays the focus, yet clear enough to read at a glance. The plain background keeps the layout uncluttered.

The design belongs to the world of pug lovers and apology cards. A pug is a breed many people know for its expressive face, so the photo lands with anyone who has ever been caught doing something they shouldn't. Together the image and the line form one clear, easy picture of a dog owning up to a mess.

Who it is for
