Four you can type on
New Year banner takes 14 characters under the greeting, and Confetti frame, your words takes 15. New Year resolutions list has three lines of 19. On New Year balloons, a year the four digits are a sample: type your own year over them.
Seven for a message box
Squash-proof lists four one-liners, a two-line greeting, a three-line firework and a five-line party hat. None starts a line with a space or has two spaces together, so a box that folds spaces cannot bend them.
- Only the balloons carry a year, so no other piece goes out of date.
- Rays out of line mean the font is not monospaced. The cat page explains.
- The party popper, the fireworks and the clock as emoji are on New Year emojis.
