In the heart of this whimsical, surreal birthday greeting card, envision a lively and intricate scene brimming with the spirit of celebration and creativity.

Central to the composition, a long, rustic wooden table stretches across the foreground, laden with a vivid array of artist supplies and culinary delights. Vibrant tubes of paint spill their colors across the table, creating a rainbow-like path that merges into the icing of a whimsically sculpted birthday cake. This cake, seemingly a masterpiece in itself, features layers shaped like a painter's palette, each section adorned with edible "paint" blobs. The word "Clay" is whimsically scripted in thick, creamy icing across the top tier of the cake, as if declaring the name of the masterpiece.

Surrounding the table, a merry assembly of anthropomorphic animals engage in a flurry of creative activities. A wise owl with spectacles delicately paints on a tiny easel, its feathers dabbed with colorful splatters. Nearby, a rabbit, with its long ears tied back like an artist's bandana, expertly whisks a bowl of frosting, its nose twitching with concentration.

In the background, a lush, imaginative garden stretches out, reminiscent of Beatrix Potter's pastoral scenes. Tall sunflowers nod over an old wooden fence, their petals impossibly bright, a nod to Maxfield Parrish's saturated hues. Between them, a mischievous squirrel balances on the edge of a canvas, its bushy tail dipped in paint, leaving a trail of vibrant footprints.

Further back, under the shade of an ancient oak tree, a family of bears sits on a large picnic blanket. Each bear is engaged in a different creative endeavor: one sketches in a notebook, another mixes colors on a palette, and the smallest bear, barely more than a cub, uses its paws to shape a small clay sculpture, echoing the text on the cake.

The sky above is a wash of twilight blues and purples, in the style of Arthur Rackham, with swirls of clouds dancing across like brushstrokes. Tiny twinkling stars begin to dot the sky, each one reflecting off the glassy surface of a nearby pond, where a graceful swan glides past, balancing a delicate paintbrush in its beak.

This card is a symphony of creativity, an exuberant celebration of art, family, and the joy of making, with every detail contributing to a scene that is both fantastical and richly textured.
