Sunshine Rainbows Card for a Friend Facing Cancer

Sunshine Rainbows Card shows a bright yellow sun and a painted rainbow, and the words beneath say cancer gets a big kick in the penis. The rude line gives the cheerful pictures a sharp edge, and it tells the reader that you are willing to laugh at something frightening. It is made for someone who can take a joke about a hard thing and who would rather be cheered up than handled gently.

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

Artwork and lettering

A warm yellow sun sits in the upper half of the card, its rays drawn in loose, hand-painted strokes. The word SUNSHINE is set in the middle of the sun in black capitals, so the sun reads as a label as well as a picture. Below it a rainbow arcs across the page in red, orange, yellow, green and blue bands that fade softly at the edges. The line FOR YOU sits above the sun in a looser handwritten style, and the lower text is set in plain, bold capitals that contrast with the playful drawings. Together the sun, the rainbow and the blunt message make a card that looks gentle at first glance and turns sharp on the second read.

Made for this crowd

People who get this card usually notice the sun and rainbow first, then the surprise of the bottom line. It fits friends who trade dark jokes, siblings who have always spoken bluntly, and coworkers who want to acknowledge a hard diagnosis without a solemn tone. Use this funny Sunshine Rainbows Card when the recipient would rather laugh about cancer than hear one more round of careful sympathy.

Moments it suits

This card suits the day someone starts chemotherapy, the week after a surgery, or the first visit home from a hospital stay. It also works as a mailed pick-me-up when a friend is between treatments and needs a reminder that people are thinking of them. Slip it into a care package with snacks and a book, and it becomes part of the bigger gift.
