The scene is set on a cobblestone street in Lisbon, capturing a whimsical yet industrial, vintage birthday celebration. In the foreground, a classic yellow Lisbon tram is parked slightly tilted, its wheels adorned with decorative cogs and gears reminiscent of steampunk aesthetics. The tram is festooned with dark, intricately patterned bunting, each flag showing elements of wrought iron textures and vintage lace.

To the left of the tram, there's an ornate wrought iron lamp post with intricate swirls and curls, casting long shadows across the street. Around the base of the lamp post, a small group of Beatrix Potter-esque anthropomorphic animals dressed in Edwardian attire are gathering for the celebration. A rabbit wearing a waistcoat holds a bunch of balloons, colored in muted tones of deep maroon, forest green, and navy blue, each one delicately reflecting the surrounding industrial elements with tiny metallic sheen.

Behind the tram, the historic architecture of Lisbon unfolds with a series of tall, narrow buildings. The façades are a tapestry of faded pastel hues, featuring peeling turquoise, mustard, and rose, contrasted by the heavy metal railings on each balcony, depicting a faintly gothic and dark theme akin to Edward Gorey's work. Above, the sky is an expansive twilight blue, with hints of Maxfield Parrish’s celestial luminescence, sprinkled with vintage light bulb string lights crisscrossing the scene.

Centered on the tram, a large, elaborate birthday cake sits prominently on a mechanical-looking table. The cake is multi-tiered, each layer resembling aged gears and clockwork, with a delicate filigree of frosting reminiscent of Aubrey Beardsley’s intricate linework. Atop the cake, the names "Nelson & Luís" are elegantly piped in chocolate, their letters appearing as though they are gears themselves, intertwined and turning with the gentle breeze.

On the distant horizon, a silhouette of the iconic Lisbon bridge looms, its arches echoing the industrial theme, bridging the detailed foreground with the richly illustrated background. The card cover, filled with Norman Rockwell’s attention to detail and storytelling, invites the viewer into this nostalgic, slightly fantastical, and meticulously detailed world, celebrating the timeless essence of birthdays in a uniquely vintage, industrial setting.
