At the top of the Illustration Style image, Happy birthday Mum!

Hand-drawn illustration with fine linework and textured brush strokes; warm, expressive palette of ochre, teal, burgundy, and cream. A cozy, noir-ish study in balanced composition: a large wooden desk dominates the scene with a giant open crossword puzzle at center (bold grid, no lettered answers), a magnifying glass wearing a tiny party hat hovering over the squares, pencil shavings and coffee ring stains, confetti sprinkled around. Stacks of well-loved thriller novels lean to one side, their moody cover art and dog-eared pages hinting at suspense; a question-mark balloon and an exclamation-mark balloon bob nearby. Behind the desk, a corkboard “evidence wall” with red string connects playful birthday clues: a candle stub, cake crumbs, and a balloon photo; a donut with a bite sits near a quirky evidence marker (symbol only, no extra text). Soft amber lamplight, gentle shadows, warm paper texture, and lighthearted details keep the mood funny, not dark.

Add one small in-scene caption on a sticky note pinned to the corkboard (bottom-right), in a playful handwritten style: Your age: REDACTED.
