Funny Gambel’s Quail Sorry Card | Bird Pun Apology

$4.99

If you need to apologize and want your message to feel honest, this hand-illustrated, hand-lettered apology card features a Gambel’s quail on a warm amber-orange background.

The front of the card says, “Let’s Start From Scratch.” Inside, it reads, “Sorry I Ruffled Your Feathers.” This card is perfect for addressing that argument that went off course, the comment you regretted saying, or the miscommunication that’s been creating awkwardness between you and someone else for far too long.

Not the kind of apology you grab at the last minute. Hand-illustrated, hand-lettered, made to order, and takes 6-10 business days to arrive. (But the card is worth the wait if you mean it).

This greeting card features an original hand-drawn illustration of a Gambel’s quail on an amber-orange background with a yellow sun behind it, and hand-lettered text in warm terracotta. The front reads: Let’s Start From Scratch. Open it: Sorry I Ruffled Your Feathers. Available in 4×6 and 5×7. Printed on thick matte cardstock with a white envelope.

Gambel’s quail scratch constantly. It’s how they forage. They’re also one of those birds that move in small family groups and come back to the same spots every morning, which, as an apology metaphor, does a lot of heavy lifting.

For the person who apologizes better in writing than out loud. For the friend whose feelings you hurt, and you’re not entirely sure how to start the conversation back up. For couples who fight clean and want the makeup note to match. Works as a standalone apology or tucked into something else, like flowers or a coffee gift card, for the people who need a little more than a card.

I want you to love what you order, and I take quality seriously.

Everything in this shop is made to order just for you, which means there’s no warehouse of extras to swap things out when something goes sideways. Here’s how I handle it when it does.

Cancellations

If you need to cancel, email support@nicolep.me as soon as possible. Once Printful starts production, the order can’t be stopped. I can’t cancel or refund orders that are already in production, so the sooner you reach out, the better.

Damaged, defective, or misprinted items

If your order shows up looking wrong, like the print is off, the item is damaged, or there’s a manufacturing defect, email support@nicolep.me within 30 days of delivery with your order number and clear photos of the issue. I’ll file a claim with the printer and get you a replacement or refund once it’s approved. You won’t need to ship anything back.

Wrong size, wrong color, changed your mind

Since everything’s printed on demand, I can’t accept returns or exchanges for size mistakes, color preferences, or buyer’s remorse. Please check the size charts and product details before you buy.

Goodwill refunds

If something feels off and your order is under $25, reach out, and I’ll make it right. This is handled on a case-by-case basis and isn’t a formal policy, but I’d rather you leave happy.

Refunds

Approved refunds go back to your original payment method. Shipping isn’t refunded unless the problem was a printing or fulfillment error.
