Color Pairings and Print Tips
Sunflower yellow looks warm next to navy, deep teal and chocolate brown. On white paper, a pale blue background box behind the bloom makes the petals pop. Kraft paper and burlap tones bring out the watercolor versions.
A sunflower file measures 1000 pixels on each side, so a print about 3 inches wide at 300 dpi keeps every petal tip crisp. That is a good size for cupcake toppers, tags and stickers. For coloring copies of the outlines, pick grayscale or black ink and set paper type to plain. Seeing a blank box around a bloom in your document? Set the image layout so it floats over the text, and the box goes away. Our PNG transparency guide explains why.
