The illustration for the birthday greeting card depicts a whimsical, bustling Wetherspoons pub in Birmingham, whimsically transformed into an extravagant afternoon tea party locale. The pub's sign, "The Owl & Spoon," looms large with a pair of owls, one wearing a monocle and the other a party hat, perched atop. The scene is vibrant with intricate detail, drawing on the lively, yet old-world charm of Birmingham's architecture, akin to an Edward Gorey meets Beatrix Potter fusion.

Inside, long, polished wooden tables are draped with white lace tablecloths, reminiscent of an opulent afternoon tea setting. Delicate porcelain teapots and cups, decorated with floral patterns, sit alongside tiered cake stands overflowing with scones, sandwiches, and colorful pastries. Each table is adorned with small Union Jack flags and teapots belching whimsical steam shapes, like musical notes or birthday candles.

At one corner, a group of animated owls, dressed in Victorian attire with tiny waistcoats, top hats, and bow ties, is seated around a table enjoying tea. One owl is holding up a teacup with its wing, while another dips a biscuit into the tea, and a third reads from a miniature, comically oversized menu. Behind them, a banner strung across the wall reads "Happy Birthday" in ornate, gothic script.

The patrons, a diverse crowd reflecting Birmingham's rich cultural tapestry, are depicted in a lively, celebratory spirit. Some are wearing fascinators and vintage clothing, reminiscent of Aubrey Beardsley's detailed costume designs. Others are in casual, modern attire, blending seamlessly into the historic setting.

To the left, a barmaid, who looks like she stepped out of a Norman Rockwell painting, pours pints of ale while balancing a teapot on her head, and next to her, a jovial group raises their glasses in a toast, some holding teacups and others pint glasses, embodying the harmonious blend of afternoon tea and pub culture.

In the background, the architecture includes iconic Birmingham elements like the wrought-iron street lamps and a glimpse of the Bullring through an arched window, lending a sense of place. The sky outside is Maxfield Parrish-esque with its surreal, vivid twilight hues, casting a magical glow over the entire scene.

The overall effect is a charming, detailed tableau that creatively integrates Wetherspoons, afternoon tea, Birmingham, and owls into a delightful birthday celebration.
