The front cover of the greeting card bursts into life with a vivid, cartoon-style illustration reminiscent of a classic Sunday comic strip. In the center, a young boy named Markus is enthusiastically working on his car, which is a quirky, cartoonish hot rod with oversized wheels and exaggerated, curvy fenders that seem to bounce with kinetic energy.

Markus is depicted with dark hair, slicked back neatly, almost glistening under the imaginary sun. His face, an animated symphony of features, shows wide-open eyes behind round glasses, a small, button nose, and a toothy grin that nearly stretches ear to ear. Sweat droplets, exaggerated and comically large, bead down his forehead and cheeks, sparkling in the air.

The car is a kaleidoscope of color, painted in bright red with blue racing stripes that zigzag across its surface. Each wheel is adorned with spinning chrome hubcaps that catch glints of sunlight. Underneath the hood, exaggerated engine parts peek out, puffing playful wisps of cartoon smoke.

Surrounding Markus and his car is a lively backdrop inspired by a classic comic strip panel. The ground is a patchwork of grassy green with spots of blooming daisies and dandelions. A wavy, sky-blue banner overhead, strung between two poles, proudly displays the name "Markus" in bold, bubbly letters.

Above, a cartoon sun with a mischievous face peers down from a cerulean sky dotted with fluffy white clouds that are whimsically shaped, one even resembling a small birthday cake with a single candle on top. To the side, a multicolored balloon bouquet gently floats, with strings tied to a nearby bush, creating a dynamic sense of movement.

In the background, there's a small, white picket fence, comically warped and leaning, adding to the card's charm. Beyond the fence, stylized, angular trees with foliage that appears to be dancing in the breeze dot the horizon.

The overall illustration is infused with bold outlines and vibrant, contrasting colors, capturing the essence of classic cartoonists while creating a unique and joyful birthday scene.

Generated with these themes: a boy, dark-haired and combed back neatly, is working tediously on his car. He is sweating profusely, but his face is full of excitement and joy.
