The front cover of this New Year's greeting card unfolds like a whimsical tableau, borrowing elements from beloved illustrators while spinning its own eccentric yarn. In the foreground, a slightly bewildered yet determined mountain bike rider, complete with exaggerated cartoonish features, is tackling a steep, rolling hill. The hill is constructed out of a cascade of discarded New Year's resolutions—wavy banners that read things like "Go Vegan," "Learn to Juggle," and "Master the Ukulele." The rider is decked out in a vividly colored outfit with polka dots and stripes, his helmet shaped like a celebratory party hat with a pom-pom on top.

Above, the sky is a lively collage of comical characters and symbols that nod to a festive new year. Amongst fluffy, pastel-colored clouds, cherubic figures dressed in period-accurate 1920s New Year's garb are floating with champagne flutes and party streamers. A small but robust band of anthropomorphized 2024 digits, each with tiny top hats, are mid-conga line.

In the center of the sky, where the heavens are especially clear, a flock of cheerful doves is soaring, carrying a sky banner that spells out "Happy New Year, Greyton MTB!" in grand, looping letters that resemble colorful fireworks bursts. To the left, a mischievous squirrel is hitching a ride on a stray balloon shaped like a giant bicycle wheel, nodding to the rider's adventure below.

In the background, the landscape is dotted with comic trees resembling those from a Charles Schulz world—simple, yet whimsically bent by a gentle breeze. Scattered throughout the scene are nods to other artists: a suspicious-looking cat wearing a trench coat peeks out from behind a tree (a playful nod to Hergé's Tintin), while a black-and-white character resembling a jazz-era Max Fleischer creation tips his hat to the rider.

This comical, busy scene, brimming with absurdity and nods to classic artists, weaves together a story of new beginnings, adventure, and a touch of chaos—all anchored by the mountain biker's uphill journey into the new year, celebrated by the message for Greyton MTB.
