Colors and good wishes
Red and gold are the classic Lunar New Year colors, standing for luck and wealth, which is why most designs here use them; plum and peach blossoms stand for spring and a fresh start. Warm wishes for health, happiness, peace and success are typical. Messages about prosperity suit friends and coworkers, while wishes for health and long life suit parents and grandparents.
The script fonts cover Latin letters with accents, so greetings in English, pinyin or Vietnamese look handwritten. Chinese and Korean characters are drawn in your device's own font, since the script fonts do not include them.
