In the center of the card, illustrate a hand-drawn, dynamic scene featuring a vibrant McLaren F1 car. The car is depicted in a thrilling action pose, leaning into a sharp turn. Its sleek, orange and black bodywork glistens under the birthday-themed lighting, with sparks flying from its rear tires as it races across a whimsical, cartoon-like F1 circuit.

Nestled in the driver's seat, with its flippers gripping the steering wheel, is an adorably determined penguin wearing a tiny racing helmet. The helmet is decorated with a number 17, a nod to the birthday being celebrated, and accented with a subtle checkerboard pattern reminiscent of racing flags.

The track itself is surrounded by a lush, enchanted forest, reminiscent of a Maurice Sendak illustration. Tall, fantastical trees with twisted branches arch over the scene, their leaves in shades of teal, emerald, and mint. On either side of the track, mischievous penguins, styled like spectators, cheer and wave tiny flags colored in McLaren's signature papaya orange.

Above this exhilarating scene, the sky is a twilight canvas of deep purples and blues, dotted with sparkling stars. Across the sky, a banner in vintage racing typography, inspired by Aubrey Beardsley, flutters gracefully. The banner reads "Nieve," elegantly incorporated into the composition, and adds a personal touch to the card.

A fanciful birthday cake stands in the foreground near the track, its tiers decorated with F1 car designs and penguins, topped with a large, glowing number 17 candle. The cake is festooned with brightly colored icing in hues of azure, gold, and coral, echoing the vibrant and magical atmosphere of the entire scene.
