Two versions of the same picture, and both are free with no account and no watermark. The first has no background at all, which is the one to send your artist — but a phone or computer photo viewer set to dark will show black strokes on dark grey and it can look like nothing downloaded. If that happens, use the second one: identical characters on a plain white background. Either way you get the characters on their own — the square and the faint guide lines you see above are not in the file. Each character is 1000px, so a two-character download is 2000×1000, and the script and layout are the ones you picked.

Characters
Same in both
Layout
Rubbing mode: white on black, as a stone rubbing. The download is unaffected.
Flower: beauty and its shortness, but the plain character also carries a set of much less flattering slang readings.
Before you commit
Choose with care花 has heavy slang use — 花心 means unfaithful and 花錢 means to spend. Alone it can read as frivolous rather than beautiful.
Pairs well with花開 — the flower opens; the ordinary phrase for blooming and for things coming good.
At small sizesEight strokes under a grass radical. Keep the two top strokes separate or the character caps over.
Meaning
Flower; also to spend money, and showy or fancy.
The everyday character, and the base of most flower words.

What to do next
Pick the script and layout you want above, download the PNG, and send that file to your artist. Ask them to work from the file rather than redrawing the character freehand — that is where strokes go missing.
