In the foreground of the card, there’s a scuba diver who is comically suited in an exaggeratedly old-fashioned diving suit, reminiscent of deep-sea explorers from the early 1900s, complete with a large round helmet and a thick rubber hose trailing upward. The diver is flailing, trying to capture a birthday cake that floats just out of reach, tethered to a string tied to a brightly colored balloon that’s defying the underwater logic and floating upwards.

In the background, a whimsical underwater scene unfolds. A coral reef bursts with colors: vibrant oranges, pinks, and purples. Fish with exaggerated expressions and quirky features, such as party hats and tiny snorkels, swim around curiously. A seahorse couple, each with a small present wrapped in seaweed ribbons, observe the diver’s antics. An octopus, with an arm extended, waves a birthday banner that reads “Happy Birthday!” in flowing script reminiscent of Beatrix Potter’s delicate handwriting.

There’s also a giant clam with a pearl inside, except the pearl is actually a disco ball, casting shimmering reflections around the scene. A sea turtle, with a painter’s palette attached to its shell, floats by serenely, as if adding the final touches to an underwater mural depicting an undersea birthday party.

Above the reef, the sun’s rays penetrate the water, casting a gentle light on the whole scene. A playful dolphin is seen mid-jump in the background, adding a dynamic element to the illustration. Seaweed and kelp sway gently, framing the scene and giving depth.

Every element in the illustration is highly detailed and slightly exaggerated, reminiscent of the charming intricacies found in Norman Rockwell's works combined with the fantastical elements of Maurice Sendak's creations. The card’s playful nature is highlighted by the delightful expressions on the sea creatures' faces and the diver’s comical struggle, blending the old-world charm of Arthur Rackham with Quentin Blake’s quirky characterizations.
