In the center of this charming greeting card illustration, a jubilant scene unfolds in a quaint Spanish village square, reminiscent of a Beatrix Potter tableau with a dash of Norman Rockwell's warmth. The cobblestones are bathed in the golden glow of a late afternoon sun. A small, ornate fountain trickles in the background, surrounded by vibrantly colored Spanish tiles. Perched atop the fountain, a mischievous little sparrow holds a tiny, golden coin in its beak, hinting at Veronica's knack for saving money. Nearby, a playful street market stall displays an array of glistening kitchen knives, their blades catching the light in a gleaming dance, a subtle nod to her fondness for holding knives.

At the heart of the scene, a lively group of friends and co-workers gather around a festively adorned table. On it stands a multi-layered birthday cake shaped like a treasure chest, with edible gold coins cascading down its sides. The top layer of the cake proudly displays Veronica's name crafted in elegant, swirling icing letters that mirror the graceful lines of Aubrey Beardsley's illustrations. In the backdrop, a line of whimsical, Beatrix Potter-esque anthropomorphic animals – a fox in a waistcoat, a mouse with a parasol – parade across a banner strung between two charming, rustic lampposts. The banner reads "Happy Birthday Veronica!" in a cheerful, colorful script that arches across the scene. Above, the sky is painted in a dreamy blend of oranges and purples, and fluffy clouds spell out "Veronica" as they drift lazily across the horizon, a nod to Gustave Doré's sweeping, celestial artwork.
