The front cover of the birthday greeting card should be a surreal, hand-drawn illustration blending elements of whimsy and elegance. At the center, a fantastical, towering birthday cake, comprised of five layers, rises prominently. Each layer features a different vibrant color: deep teal, lavender, golden yellow, soft pink, and rich emerald green. The cake is adorned with intricate filigree icing patterns reminiscent of Aubrey Beardsley’s detailed line work.

Around the cake, a collection of animals in semi-formal attire from Beatrix Potter's world gather for the celebration. A dapper hare in a waistcoat holds a tray with sparkling, miniature champagne flutes. A fox with a top hat offers a basket of flowers. To the side, a squirrel wearing spectacles reads from an ornate scroll that says "Happy 50th Emma."

The background is a lush, enchanted forest reminiscent of Maurice Sendak's illustrations, with towering, gnarled trees whose twisted branches form an arch overhead. Hanging from the branches are luminous paper lanterns in various pastel colors that gently illuminate the scene below.

At the top of the card, in the sky made from swirling watercolor clouds, the word "Emma" is elegantly inscribed by twinkling stars, reminiscent of the celestial elegance found in Maxfield Parrish’s work.

The ground is a detailed tapestry of wildflowers and grasses, each petal and blade rendered with meticulous attention to detail, echoing the style of Arthur Rackham. Small, whimsical elements, such as a mouse balancing on a mushroom and a frog playing a tiny fiddle, add playful touches akin to Edward Gorey’s eccentricity.

In the foreground, a whimsical banner carried by two hummingbirds reads "Happy 50th," their iridescent feathers capturing light in a manner that hints at the vivid illustrations of N.C. Wyeth. This surreal birthday scene invites the viewer into a fantastical celebration, filled with the charm and intricate detail of classic illustration styles.
