In this charming birthday card illustration for Veronica, the scene unfolds in a whimsical Spanish courtyard bathed in the golden hues of a late afternoon sun. To capture her fondness for Spain, the courtyard features vibrant tiles in rich cobalt and terracotta colors, with potted geraniums and fragrant orange trees lining the path. At the center, a delightful, plump piglet with a cheerful expression sits atop a pile of golden coins, playfully tossing a few into the air. This represents Veronica's love for both money and pigs.

Nearby, a petite, round table is set with a deliciously ornate birthday cake, adorned with intricate designs inspired by Spanish lace. On top of the cake, decorative sugarwork spells out "Happy Birthday Veronica" in a looping, elegant font reminiscent of a flamenco dancer's swirling dress.

Veronica herself is portrayed in a lively dance pose, her ginger curls cascading down her back as she balances a gleaming, decorative knife in one hand—perhaps mid-performance in an exuberant flamenco dance. Her attire echoes traditional Spanish flamenco costumes, complete with a crimson ruffled dress and a delicate flower tucked behind her ear.

In the sky above, wispy clouds have formed shapes that faintly mimic coins, subtly alluding to her passion for money. To complete the scene, tiny, playful birds carry a banner that trails through the sky, with the words "Feliz Cumpleaños Veronica" fluttering brightly across it. The illustration is bordered with delicate, Beardsley-inspired linework of vines and olive branches, nodding to both the artistry and the flora of Spain.
