What you will get

Your photo as a vintage travel postcard: a white rounded border, large hand-lettered “Greetings from” text at the top, a small stamp and postmark, faded print colours and light paper texture.

Common mistake

The place name in “Greetings from” comes out misspelled.

Fix: Use a short place name, such as “Goa” rather than a full address.

Other ways it goes wrong

The photo is cropped to make room for the border and loses its subject. Add “keep the whole photo visible inside the border, shrink the picture slightly if needed”.
The stamp and postmark show fake text. Say “the stamp shows a simple drawing, the postmark is a plain circle with wavy lines and no words”. Writing on small items goes wrong.
The colours look too clean for old print. Add “slightly misaligned colour printing and soft ink edges, like a 1970s postcard”.

Try a variation: back of the card

Ask for a second image: “the back of the postcard, with a handwritten note, an empty address area and a stamp”. Both sides together make a nicer gift.
