Cosmic Goldfish Love E-Card
A hyper-saturated, low-resolution fantasy composition combines two glowing yellow-orange fish with a starry magenta-and-blue nebula and a hard royal-blue caption block. The image feels like an early-internet romantic e-card or desktop graphic: sentimental, kitschy, compressed, and intensely colorful. Its layout is split between an image-heavy celestial upper field and a blunt text panel below, with tall yellow lettering that has a bitmap/VHS-caption quality.
