**Front Cover Illustration Description:**

In a galactic birthday celebration, a detailed and whimsical illustration comes to life. Picture a scene set on an alien planet, its sky a swirling mix of deep purples and rich blues dotted with twinkling stars and two crescent moons, reminiscent of Maxfield Parrish's dreamy skies.

At the center of the scene, a heroic Space Marine stands proudly. His armor is sleek and futuristic, painted in a bold cobalt blue with silver accents, reflecting hints of the cosmic lights above. His helmet, under his arm, reveals a friendly face with a wide, playful grin, reminiscent of Quentin Blake’s expressive line work. His eyes, drawn in fine detail, are wide and full of mischief.

Around the Space Marine, a group of quirky, fantastical alien creatures, inspired by Maurice Sendak's style, are gathered. They are small, with exaggerated features—bulbous eyes, wavy antennae, and textured skin in vivid hues of lime green, electric pink, and bright orange. They wear tiny, tattered party hats, and each holds a miniature gift wrapped in metallic foil.

Floating nearby, a hovering birthday cake with layers spiraling upwards in gravity-defying glory. The cake is decorated with star-shaped candies and shimmering icing, with a banner made of shimmering comets and stardust that boldly displays the name "Allan" in a playful, handwritten style akin to Edward Gorey’s whimsical lettering.

The ground, a sandy mix of rusty reds and oranges with odd-shaped craters and alien flora, adds depth and texture to the scene. In the background, the silhouette of a towering, craggy mountain looms, with its peaks adorned with icicle-like crystals that catch and refract the ambient light.

Tying the scene together, a subtle, intricate border frames the illustration. Delicate, flowing lines and interwoven motifs, inspired by Aubrey Beardsley's ornate patterns, give the card a finished, classic touch.

This card front is a cosmic birthday bash that melds the fantastical and the futuristic, making "Allan's" birthday an interstellar celebration!
