How the artwork is built

Right beneath, the words “are” and “overrated” flow in white script lettering that adds a friendly, relaxed touch. Under the phrase, six bundled newborns rest in a neat row, showcasing swaddle wraps in coral, pink, yellow, teal, and beige alongside sweet details like hair curls and hair bows. This charming graphic speaks directly to the daily reality of neonatal intensive care unit nursing, where babies write their own arrival timelines.
