This pastel background for PowerPoint is built around two glossy silk ribbons, one in soft pink and one in pale blue, twisting through each other across the middle of the frame.
A gentle light glow spreads from the top left, keeping the upper portion of the frame soft and airy.
What This Pastel Background Looks Like
Two 3D ribbons, rendered with a soft satin sheen and a faint visible fabric grain, cross and braid through one another diagonally across the frame.
One ribbon shifts from pale lavender-pink to a deeper rose, the other from ice blue to a dustier periwinkle, both catching light along their curved edges.
The upper left corner glows a warm near-white, fading into a soft pink haze across the rest of the background.
Where This Pastel Background For PowerPoint Fits
- Beauty, wellness, or lifestyle brand presentations
- Baby shower, gender reveal, or nursery-themed decks
- Product launches wanting a soft, modern 3D look
- Any title slide calling for a light, calm mood
Design Choices Behind the Ribbon Braid
I paired pink and blue rather than keeping both ribbons the same hue, so the braid reads as two distinct forms crossing rather than one flat shape.
Keeping the palette pale and desaturated, instead of saturated jewel tones, lets the glossy highlights on each ribbon do the work of adding depth.
I placed the light source in the upper left and let the rest of the frame stay uncluttered, so there’s a natural, breathable spot for a headline.
