The front cover of the greeting card is a whimsical, hand-drawn illustration that captures a lively birthday celebration scene on a sun-drenched beach in Crete, bursting with intricate details and playful characters. The setting is a picturesque Greek island beach with a vibrant azure sea and a clear blue sky. A few fluffy white clouds drift lazily above.

In the foreground, a group of five anthropomorphic cats are seated around a rustic wooden table adorned with a white tablecloth patterned with blue and gold Greek motifs. Each cat is elegantly attired, reminiscent of the dapper characters you might find in a Beatrix Potter tale. The cats, sporting tuxedos and fancy cocktail dresses, are animatedly sipping colorful cocktails from quirky, mismatched glasses adorned with tiny umbrellas and fresh fruit garnishes.

To the right of the scene, one cat wearing a wide-brimmed sun hat raises a martini glass, while another, wearing a polka-dotted bow tie, enthusiastically gestures with a paw, clearly narrating an amusing story. In the center of the table, an ornate, multi-layered birthday cake topped with sparklers emits tiny fireworks. The cake is decorated with icing shaped like the waves of the ocean, interspersed with small sailboat motifs.

In the background, olive trees and whitewashed stone buildings with blue-domed roofs provide a classic Mediterranean backdrop. A string of colorful pennant flags dances between two palm trees, one of which bears the name "Mark" inscribed in a playful script. Seagulls glide overhead, and a classic Greek fishing boat with a vibrant red hull bobs gently in the distance on the shimmering sea.

Subtle nods to the styles of Quentin Blake and Arthur Rackham are evident in the energetic, flowing lines and detailed textures, lending the scene a sense of lively whimsy and richness that invites the viewer to linger over each detail. The palette is a harmonious blend of sandy earth tones, deep blues, and vivid splashes of cocktail colors that embody the spirit of celebration and the charm of a sunlit day in Crete.
