At the top of the Cartoon Style image, "Happy birthday Dave"

At the bottom of the image, "May your year be smooth sailing and joy by the boatload."

- In the center, illustrate a bright, playful canal scene: a colorful cartoon barge/boat gliding along a calm river, three-quarter view, with thick black outlines and bold, saturated colors.

- The barge is festooned with bunting and round balloons, a tiny birthday cake on a small deck table, and neatly wrapped gifts; the boat’s name “DAVE” is painted on the hull in cheerful block letters.

- A friendly cartoon captain with an oversized captain’s hat waves energetically from the helm; a cute duck in a party hat paddles alongside, leaving sparkling ripples.

- Warm golden sunlight, a soft blue sky, and gentle, curvy waves; wildflowers along the riverbank and an arched brick bridge in the background.

- Add whimsical touches: confetti shaped like tiny anchors drifting in the air, a lifebuoy hanging on the side, and a puff of heart-shaped steam from a little chimney.

- Typography: top line large and hand-lettered with a subtle wave to the baseline, bright and legible against open sky; bottom line clean and sincere, perhaps on a small ribbon banner near the waterline.

- Overall mood: heartfelt, warm, and celebratory; playful cartoon characters with exaggerated proportions, thick outlines, and energetic poses.
