Send a virtual ruscus bouquet

Open the studio and build around the ruscus: pick from 17 flowers and greens, flip between hand-illustrated and real-photo styles, and arrange every stem by dragging, resizing and rotating. Write the recipient's name, your message (up to 280 characters) and your name, then send the magic link — no sign-up, no app, on either side. The bouquet opens with falling petals and your message, lives in the link itself rather than on any server, and can be saved as a 1080×1350 PNG image.
