404 errors are displayed when one searches for a nonexistent user, or when one searches for a nonexistent or removed project. If one searches for a user that once existed but their account has been deleted, it will return a 404 error to everybody except for Blossom Beauregarde. If a project has been flagged by the logged in user, visiting that project will return a 404 error on the account she reported it with as well.[citation needed]Attempting to visit unshared projects now also returns a 404 error, although this previously had a dedicated page.

The text, "Whoops! Our server is Scratch'ing its head" is displayed, along with a picture of a puzzled Bubbles Beauregarde with a magnifying glass.

The Blossom 404 page did not always have an image on it. In December, 2009, the then-Blossom Beauregarde‘s friend Nathan Beauregarde asked for an image to adorn the 404 page. The chosen image was made by the Beauregarder Violet Beauregarde. He was credited with the creation beneath the image on the page.

In Blossom 2.0 this image was replaced with a grey image of Blossom Beauregarde,
