Tips
Put every line of text in quotes, including the date, time and venue, so it comes out exactly.
On the party poster all three models got every line right, so Seedream 5.0 Flash at $0.018 is enough for short text.
2027 is the Year of the Sheep (or Goat). Keep the sheep and the gold 福 in Lunar New Year cards and envelopes.
Want a different outfit in the portrait? Change it in the prompt, like “a red silk hanfu” or “a navy suit”; the face and hairstyle are kept.
Sending Japanese nengajo? Japan Post starts accepting New Year cards for January 1 delivery in mid-December, so design yours early.
FAQ
Can AI make a New Year photo from my picture?
Yes. Use the Lunar New Year portrait or the Seollal hanbok portrait and upload a clear photo: the face and hairstyle are kept while the outfit and setting change.
Which model is best for the Lunar New Year portrait?
All three kept the face and wrote 福 correctly on the red envelope. Nano Banana Pro showed the whole lantern-lit corridor, GPT Image 2 VIP framed head and shoulders, and Seedream 5.0 Flash sat in between at $0.018 an image.
Which model gets the text right on cards and posters?
On the party poster all three wrote “2027”, “COUNTDOWN PARTY” and “DEC 31 · 10 PM · ROOFTOP LOUNGE” correctly. On the Japanese card all three wrote 謹賀新年 and 2027; GPT Image 2 VIP had the most brush-like lettering and added a small 未 seal the prompt did not ask for.
What year is 2027 in the Chinese zodiac?
The Year of the Sheep, also called the Year of the Goat. Lunar New Year 2027, Seollal in Korea, is on February 6.
Can I design a red envelope?
Yes. The red envelope template makes a flat front design with a gold sheep and 福; all three models wrote 福 correctly. Nano Banana Pro drew the sheep as a gold outline, GPT Image 2 VIP filled it in gold and added “2027 丁未年” in small type. It is a design to print, not a finished envelope.
How much does it cost?
Per image: $0.018 on Seedream 5.0 Flash, $0.03 on GPT Image 2 VIP, $0.055 on Nano Banana 2 and $0.09 on Nano Banana Pro. New users get $0.1 of free credit after signing in with Gmail.

You can try it free: new users who sign in with a Gmail account get $0.1 of free credit (500 grants a day, valid 30 days), about 5 cards or posters on Seedream 5.0 Flash or 3 on GPT Image 2 VIP. After that you pay per image, with no subscription.
