Symington
Bright and cheerful graphic for a community event. The image features a yellow sun-like circle with bold white text that reads "GALA FUN DAY" and "SATURDAY 28 June." A green sticker-style shape overlaps the sun and says "12–4pm" in white. The background is sky blue with illustrations of white daisies, yellow flowers, green leaves, and a vibrant orange butterfly, giving a summery, festive feel.
