At the top of the Illustration Style image, Happy Birthday Sarah

Hand-drawn illustration with fine linework and textured brush strokes, warm expressive color palette. Scene: Outside on a city sidewalk/café patio at golden hour. Center-left, Sarah sits on a bench, cool and unbothered, in a black leather jacket, a bright red scarf, and black boots. She’s relaxed, one ankle crossed over the other, cigarette in one hand (a gentle curl of smoke drifting up, whimsically forming the hint of a chess knight), and in the other hand her phone showing a clear chessboard screen mid-game. Over-ear headphones on; tiny music notes weave through the smoke. Behind and curving around her, a long, funny line of people queuing to wish her happy birthday—party hats, balloons, gift bags, and comic impatience in their expressions (foot-tapping, checking watches), but no extra text on them. Festive touches: scattered confetti, bunting strung between lampposts, a warm sunset glow that makes the red scarf pop.

Include a small speech bubble from Sarah: “Sorry, can’t talk—I just want to listen to music and play chess.”

At the bottom, a tiny cheeky caption: “Queue’s Gambit.”

Balanced composition: the header arcs neatly across the top, Sarah as the focal point, the queue forming an S-curve in the background. Paper grain texture, soft shading, gentle vignetting, no brand logos. Funny, cozy, and full of birthday energy.
