In the foreground of the card, a quirky scene unfolds on a perfectly manicured lawn where a spirited New Year's Eve lawn bowling match is underway. A group of jubilant anthropomorphic hedgehogs, decked out in festive party hats and colorful scarves, are enthusiastically engaging in a game of lawn bowls. The hedgehogs' expressions are comically exaggerated, reminiscent of Quentin Blake's whimsical characters. One hedgehog is poised mid-roll, balancing on two legs with a serious concentration, while another cheers with tiny pom-poms in each paw.

In the background, a grand old oak tree, reminiscent of an Arthur Rackham illustration, spreads its twisting branches, festooned with twinkling fairy lights and dangling lanterns. Among the branches, an opulent banner with golden script spells out "OLBA Bowlers," with each letter made to look like a small lawn bowl. Above this, the night sky is a swirl of rich blues and purples, much like a Maxfield Parrish painting, dotted with sparkling stars that mirror the glow from the fairy lights.

Near the oak tree, a quaint picnic setup is arranged on a red gingham cloth. Delicate pastries and a large punch bowl filled with bubbly champagne nod to a Norman Rockwell-style gathering. Perched beside the picnic, a rabbit in a tiny waistcoat and monocle sits as the referee, holding a large hourglass to mark the passing of time as the new year approaches.

Scattered throughout the scene are little playful nods to Maurice Sendak's world: a mischievous mouse peeks from behind the hedgehogs' bowling bag, and a pudgy raccoon holding a kazoo stands by, ready to herald the winner with a triumphant tune. In the distant background, an old-fashioned grandfather clock with intricate Beardsley-inspired patterns shows the time as just before midnight, ready to strike as the hedgehogs prepare for the final roll of the game.
