In a whimsical, dream-like landscape that blends elements of Norman Rockwell's nostalgic realism with Quentin Blake's playful linework, a green and brown vintage bus, reminiscent of Beatrix Potter's cozy countryside charm, is parked at an odd angle on a sprawling field of toast that stretches as far as the eye can see. The toast is golden brown, with a pat of butter melting in the center of each slice. Above, a sky swirled with soft hues of dawn—pinks and light blues—features clouds that subtly morph into letters spelling "Happy Birthday, Dad," with the word "Dad" appearing in bold, toast-colored puffs. The bus, with its paint whimsically peeling to reveal layers of beans beneath, serves as a roadside café, complete with open windows where a small, friendly queue of woodland creatures—foxes, rabbits, and hedgehogs, illustrated in a style reminiscent of Arthur Rackham's enchanted forest characters—await their morning fix of beans on toast. The bus driver, an owl wearing a tweed cap, peers out from the driver's window, holding a cup of tea, a nod to Edward Gorey's eccentric yet refined illustrations. Around the bus, plates of beans on toast are arranged picnic-style, with silver forks and napkins set neatly beside them. In the distance, under a giant mushroom cap providing shade, sits a small band of tiny musicians, their instruments cobbled together from acorns and twigs, serenading the scene with invisible notes that seem to dance in the air, much like Maxfield Parrish's delicate use of light. This card tells a unique and delightful story, as surreal and enchanting as a bedtime tale by Maurice Sendak.
