The front cover of the birthday card features a whimsical, humorous scene set in the heart of a bustling Liverpool match, right on the pitch at Anfield Stadium. At the center, there's a slightly exaggerated and comical depiction of a football match, where players from both teams are wearing oversized boots, and the referee, dressed in a classic 1920s style with a bowler hat, seems more interested in a teacup balanced on a goalpost than the game itself. The crowd in the stands is a vibrant sea of red and white, with fans holding oversized foam fingers and scarves that read "You'll Never Walk Alone" in playful lettering.

In the foreground, on the lush green grass of the pitch, a quirky scene unfolds. There’s a giant birthday cake, shaped like a football, with frosting in Liverpool's iconic red, white, and gold. Candles in the form of tiny football players are scattered on top, each holding a miniature candle with a flickering flame. The top layer of the cake displays the name "Michael" in bold, icing letters, with little icing stars around it. Next to the cake, a Liverbird mascot is juggling a couple of balloons in each claw, with a cheeky grin, wearing a Liverpool jersey that has "Michael's 21st" on the back.

Above the stadium, the sky is filled with fluffy clouds, one of which has subtly formed the shape of "Happy Birthday Michael" using natural cloud curves and whorls. A rainbow arches over the scene, suggesting an unexpected goal that arcs into the net like magic, captured by a tiny figure doing a cartwheel celebration at the far end of the pitch.

All around, little animals inspired by Beatrix Potter's style, like rabbits and mice in tiny jerseys, can be seen cheering from the sidelines or peeking out from under the benches, holding tiny pennants with "Michael" on them. In the distant background, a classic Liverpool double-decker bus peeks over the top of the stadium wall, with banners trailing behind it that read "Michael's Special Day."

The art takes inspiration from Norman Rockwell’s storytelling detail, Beardsley’s whimsical lines, and a touch of Sendak’s playful chaos, blending them into a delightful scene that captures the joyous celebration of a birthday at a fantastical football match.
