The Birthday template

The template sets the wording to "grand birthday bash" with 30 as the numeral, in orange and crimson. Change the numeral to the age (two digits sit either side of the words, like the V and I in the original) and the lines to a name, the date or the venue. Each line takes up to 16 characters, so "sat 14 june" or "at leo's place" fits.

Photos of the birthday kid

Fill the nine panels with photos from the year, or use Feature for one big portrait plus four smaller shots. Baby photos next to this year's photo work well in the Quad layout. Panels you leave empty keep the GTA artwork, which is fine for a gamer birthday.
