The front cover of this birthday greeting card is a delightful hand-drawn illustration capturing a lively London-themed birthday celebration. At the center, a detailed depiction of the iconic London Eye, whimsically transformed into a giant Ferris wheel adorned with vibrant pastel-colored birthday balloons in shades of mint, lavender, and lemon yellow. The structure of the London Eye is intricately sketched with fine lines, reminiscent of Arthur Rackham's delicate touch.

In the foreground, a charming tea party scene unfolds in the style of Beatrix Potter. A round, wooden table with a lace tablecloth is set with a traditional English tea set, detailed with tiny Union Jack motifs. The teapot steams gently, and next to it sits a triple-tiered cake, lavishly decorated with sugar roses and topped with an ornate, hand-scripted “Sweet 16 Chloe” in gleaming gold icing.

The background features the iconic Big Ben, drawn with a meticulousness that hints at Gustave Doré’s engravings. Its clock face is decorated with a birthday banner fluttering in the breeze, reading “Love K&J” in a playful, whimsical font inspired by Quentin Blake’s loose yet expressive style.

Surrounding the scene, clusters of detailed pen and ink flora and fauna – a nod to Aubrey Beardsley – frame the card. Tiny hedgehogs in top hats and bow ties peek out from behind the flowers, adding a touch of Maurice Sendak’s playful narrative style.

The sky overhead is a wash of twilight blues and purples, highlighted with Maxfield Parrish's signature soft glow, as twinkling stars begin to dot the heavens, each one reflecting a tiny sparkle off the Thames that snakes subtly through the background. The cityscape is completed with silhouettes of the Shard and Tower Bridge in the distance, finely detailed like an Edward Gorey scene, lending depth and a sense of place to the illustration.
