The front cover of this birthday card unveils a whimsical yet darkly humorous scene that creatively marries Disney villains with the eccentricity of Tim Burton’s imagination. At the center of the card is Maleficent, not in her usual menacing pose, but hilariously trying to blow out an oversized, gothic birthday cake adorned with twisted, black and purple candles. The cake, of course, is a towering, Burtonesque masterpiece with leaning layers and spiraling icing that defies gravity. Surrounding Maleficent, like her party guests, are a motley crew of Disney villains: Ursula, from The Little Mermaid, is using her tentacles to try and wrap a gargantuan present, covered in underwater-themed gift wrap. To the left, the Evil Queen from Snow White is holding a large, ornate mirror that reflects a quirky, exaggerated version of herself pulling a comical 'selfie' face.

In the background, Jack Skellington and Sally from The Nightmare Before Christmas are playfully tangled in a string of festive, yet slightly macabre, black-and-white bunting. Meanwhile, Captain Hook is attempting to pin the tail on a donkey, which is none other than Eeyore, looking as gloomy as ever yet reluctantly participating in the party game. A Cheshire Cat grin floats eerily above the party, adding a dash of mischief to the scene. All the characters are drawn in a style that pays homage to the detail and expressiveness of Osamu Tezuka’s characters, the wry humor of Gary Larson’s comics, and the quirky charm of Bill Watterson’s creations.

In the top corner of the card, a small, cheeky gargoyle perches, waving a flag that reads “Over the Hill and Far, Far Away!” This flag is illustrated in the retro style reminiscent of Will Eisner’s graphic novels, adding a clever nod to the passing of another year. The background is a dreamy swirl of charcoal and indigo skies, evoking Winsor McCay’s Little Nemo landscapes, complete with floating clocks and nonsensical pathways that loop in playful, impossible patterns.
