Musical theatre and running, and Birthday Card

At the top of the flat vector illustration, crisp clean lines, solid color blocks, minimal gradients, simple geometric shapes, modern graphic design, sharp edges, consistent stroke weight, subtle drop shadows only if needed, no textures, no painterly brush marks, no photorealism image, Happy birthday Zoe!

Portrait, image-first composition. A bright theatrical stage seamlessly doubles as a running track:

- Big central moment: an energetic runner mid-stride, wearing classic race kit with a cheeky musical-theatre twist—black top hat, bow tie, and one jazz-hand glove—holding a relay baton that doubles as a sleek handheld microphone.

- The stage is framed by bold red curtains pulled wide; a flat gold proscenium arch dotted with simple circular “bulb” lights (no glow effects, just solid circles). Triangular spotlight beams in pale yellow overlap as solid shapes.

- The floor is a flat warm auburn “stage” with crisp white track lanes curving across it, like an oval track cropped by the stage edge. Finish tape styled as five parallel staff lines the runner is bursting through, with scattered eighth-note icons and stars as confetti.

- Behind, a chorus line of simplified sneakers with little white gloves doing synchronized jazz-hands kicks, arranged in a clean arc for depth. Minimal facial detail or none; keep shapes geometric and playful.

- Add a few floating musical-note balloons and tiny birthday star confetti, all as flat solid shapes.

- Color palette: rich stage red, warm auburn, teal/turquoise accents, sunny yellow, midnight blue, white, and black; keep strokes consistent and tidy. Only a tiny flat drop shadow under the runner’s leading shoe for grounding.
