Thanks for never telling anyone about my costume. Happy Halloween, Marcus! Alex - Paper-Cut Halloween Text Effect
Uses OpenAI GPT-Image-2.5 Sunburst, the model behind this artwork · 15 credits
"Thanks for never telling anyone about my costume." is a Halloween card for a friend, done in a cute paper-cut style. Cream rounded letters with orange outlines sit stacked above a ghost in a cardboard box holding an orange envelope, with two jack-o'-lanterns on a purple background. Swap in your own recipient name, message and sender name to make a card of your own.
Create a finished portrait 3:4 Halloween greeting-card front for printing at 5 × 7 inches. Keep all text and key artwork inside an 8% safe margin. Use a playful, family-safe spooky register with a warm workplace inside joke; no gore, no extra words, no logos, no watermark. Render only these exact text strings, with matching punctuation and capitalization: smaller greeting at top, “Happy Halloween, Marcus!”; largest, central hero message on two balanced lines, “Thanks for never telling anyone about my costume.”; small sign-off near the bottom, “Alex”. Keep the message crisp and readable at phone-thumbnail size. Set the lettering in custom rounded display forms: bold, wide, high x-height, open counters, softly irregular terminals, clean spacing; warm ivory ink with a thin pumpkin-orange keyline and a restrained offset plum shadow. The central message is the largest type. Give the greeting a smaller but clear size and the sign-off a simple matching hand-lettered treatment. No distressed effects over the letter interiors. Build a deep aubergine paper-textured background with a restrained vignette. Below the message, show a small friendly ivory sheet-ghost in an oversized blank cardboard costume, one mitten-like hand raised in a shushing gesture and the other holding a sealed, unmarked orange envelope. Add a few tiny paperclips and simple floating star shapes as workplace-and-Halloween cues; keep them sparse and away from the type. Use softly modeled paper-cut layers, subtle paper grain, rounded shapes, warm amber rim light and gentle cast shadows. Limit the palette to aubergine, pumpkin orange, warm ivory and muted lavender. Balanced centered greeting-card composition, clean negative space, sharp print-ready edges, no additional lettering.
