What Cannot Be Edited

To preserve the design's quality and layout structure, certain elements are fixed:

Background artwork and illustrations
Graphic elements such as borders, frames, or decorative motifs
Creating custom color palettes outside of the provided themes

These elements are intentionally locked to maintain a cohesive and print-ready design.
