**Prompt:**

At the top of the illustration image: *Reel-y Amazing Birthday Wishes, Uncle Iain!*

Create a surreal, whimsical illustration in a painterly, hand-drawn style. In the scene, an elderly man with white hair and a short white beard (Uncle Iain) is standing at the edge of a tiny pond suspended in mid-air above a giant floating teacup. He is fishing — but instead of catching fish, he’s pulling vibrant garden elements from the water: sunflowers bloom as they break the surface, vines unfurl into topiary flamingos midair, and carrots with party hats dance as they’re reeled in. Behind him, the landscape blends into an otherworldly floating garden, with bonsai trees growing out of open books, wheelbarrows floating by with balloons tied to them, and birthday candles sprouting like mushrooms. A faint, surreal sky melts from cotton candy clouds into watercolor constellations shaped like gardening tools and fish. A content cat with butterfly wings naps on a lily pad orbiting a moon-shaped flowerpot.

Generated with these themes: Man with white hair and short white beard fishing and creating amazing garden.
