A Lock Screen for the Soft Seasons – April Wallpaper

’Tis the season of growth, my friends. And if you’ve been here for a while, you already know – there’s a bit of a pattern.

Most of the wallpapers I design come back to the same themes:
Growth. Self-reflection. Softness. Letting yourself evolve without needing to explain it to anyone. Loving who you are, even while you’re still becoming.

April’s no different. Spring is literally built for change and renewal. And let’s be honest.. not all growth looks like what we’re taught to celebrate.

Some growth is loud. Obvious. Measurable. Instagrammable.
It shows up in timelines and highlight reels, and everyone claps when it happens.

But other growth?

Other growth is quiet. Subtle.
It looks like getting out of bed on a hard day.
Like saying no when you used to always say yes.
Like realizing you don’t need to prove yourself to be enough.

That’s the kind of growth I’ve been thinking about lately.
The kind that happens beneath the surface.
That no one sees.
That doesn’t ask for validation—but still matters.

This spring/April iPhone wallpaper is for that version of you.

“Like a wildflower, she grows in the most unexpected places.”

It’s a reminder that even in the moments where you feel stuck, off-track, or invisible… you might just be blooming in ways you can’t yet measure.

And that’s still real. Still beautiful. Still worthy of being honoured.

This April wallpaper comes in a range of spring colors with a delicate, embossed wildflower texture that I created in the background—a subtle nod to your growth that’s happening quietly, behind the scenes.

Because even if growth isn’t loud or obvious, it’s still present. Still beautiful. Still unfolding in its own way.
