Advent of spring

This is a submission for Frontend Challenge - February Edition, CSS Art: February.

Inspiration

This is inspired by the early arrival of spring this February, bringing warmth and life sooner than expected. As I witnessed couples celebrating Valentine’s Week and older pairs setting beautiful relationship goals, I felt moved to capture this essence of love and renewal. The trees in bloom, the gentle falling leaves, and the serene atmosphere reflect the joy of love in all its forms—young and old, fleeting and everlasting. This piece is a tribute to the beauty of the season and the heartfelt moments it brings.

Journey

Initially, I explored different ways to represent my idea in CSS, including creating a flip-book showcasing various events happening in February. However, I lastly decided to go with this scenic artwork, as it better captured the essence of the month.

Most of the artwork is crafted using SVG, allowing for flexibility and clean visuals. A special shoutout to SVG Repo( for providing beautiful, freely available SVGs and to MediaModifier's SVG Editor, which helped me combine and modify SVGs effortlessly.

By incorporating small animations and carefully placed elements, I aimed to depict the warmth of early spring, the joy of Valentine’s celebrations, and the beauty of love in all its forms.
