**Front Cover Description for Mother's Day Card:**

Imagine a quaint, whimsical cottage garden in full bloom. The centerpiece of the illustration is a large, vintage wooden desk set amidst the garden. The desk is ornately carved with floral motifs and looks as if it could have been plucked from an Edwardian study. On the desk sits an open leather-bound journal with a fountain pen resting on its pages, seemingly in mid-poem. The journal is overflowing with colorful loose pages covered in elegantly penned lines, some fluttering to the ground like fallen autumn leaves.

To the right of the desk, a tall wrought iron floor lamp curves gracefully, its shade resembling a delicate tiffany-style stained glass mosaic of pinks, greens, and purples. Next to the lamp, a small round window overlooks a serene landscape, the glass stained in blues and greens, casting a colorful shadow on the desk below.

Scattered around the desk are pots of wildflowers in an array of vivid hues—rich violets, bright yellows, and warm reds. The flowers are animated, as if caught mid-breeze, their petals slightly ruffled. A delicate trail of bees and butterflies weaves through the flowers, illustrating a lively garden tableau.

In the background, just beyond the garden, a subtle depiction of a carnival can be seen—an homage to the theme of "Mela". The word "Mela" is creatively integrated into the scene, painted on the side of a large, swirling hot air balloon that drifts lazily through a robin's egg blue sky, dotted with fluffy white clouds. The balloon is adorned with decorative patterns reminiscent of Beardsley's intricate designs, with hints of gold and silver embellishments catching the sunlight.

A rainbow, reminiscent of Maxfield Parrish's use of ethereal light, arcs gently above the scene, adding an additional splash of color and leading the eye back to the open journal on the desk. Birds, each with its own distinct, realistic plumage, flit playfully across the scene, bringing movement and life to this poetic garden setting.

This greeting card captures a story-rich illustration, inviting the viewer to pause and explore the details, reminiscent of the narrative depth found in the works of Quentin Blake and Maurice Sendak.
