Portholes invitation template

A liner dressed in flags carries the cover on her bridge, and every photo looks out of a porthole of its own.

An ocean liner dressed for a send-off — the cover fills the bridge's big brass window under a smoking funnel and a string of signal flags, every other photo looks out of a round brass porthole with a name on its plate, and the stern carries your sign-off. Add or remove portholes. Every piece below is prepared for you and stays editable after you start.
