The front cover of this greeting card presents a playful, hand-drawn illustration that blends the ancient wonders of Egypt with whimsical birthday elements. The scene is set against the iconic backdrop of the pyramids and the Sphinx, with a vibrant blue sky overhead, sprinkled with white fluffy clouds.

In the foreground, a birthday cake in the shape of a pyramid stands prominently. It is a rich sandy color with intricate hieroglyphic-like icing designs running down its layers, reminiscent of the detailed line work of Aubrey Beardsley. The cake is topped with a set of birthday candles, each one resembling an Egyptian obelisk, painted in shimmering gold and black stripes.

To the left, a pharaoh wearing an elaborate, colorful headdress akin to the opulent detail of Maxfield Parrish, is seen holding a large, wrapped gift. The wrapping paper is illustrated with small lotus flowers and papyrus reeds, reflecting the Egyptian theme. Nearby, a friendly, cartoonish camel with exaggerated features, similar to the expressive style of Quentin Blake, stretches its long neck toward the cake, eyes wide with curiosity.

The ground is a lively blend of tan and golden hues, dotted with small desert plants sketched in the detailed line work of Edward Gorey. In the background, a row of ancient columns supports strings of multicolored bunting flags, fluttering gently, adding a festive air to the scene.

In the sky, a flock of stylized birds, drawn in a manner reminiscent of Arthur Rackham, swoop playfully across the scene, some carrying small, colorful balloons in their beaks, adding a dynamic sense of movement. The colors throughout the scene are rich and saturated, with the warm tones of the desert sand contrasting beautifully against the vivid blues and greens of the decorative elements.

This whimsical fusion of ancient Egypt and birthday celebration captures the imagination, bringing a unique and humorous twist to a classic birthday card.
