What is a birthday color pattern?

An original design made from your birthday colors and those of your friends and family. Every couple, group or family gets a combination no one else has.

How to use it

Enter the birthdays and choose vertical stripes, horizontal stripes, gingham, tartan, madras, polka dots or hearts. “Wallpaper” has no text, “Square” is perfect for profile pictures or posts, and “Share image” includes the dates and color names.

Plaid from the whole family's colors

Choose “Gingham”, “Tartan” or “Madras”, and the birthday colors weave together like fabric. With the whole family's birthdays, you'll get a plaid that's yours alone.
