The front cover of the sympathy greeting card features a tranquil, hand-drawn scene set in a serene garden at twilight. Imagine the meticulous detail of Arthur Rackham combined with the gentle charm of Beatrix Potter.

In the foreground, an intricately drawn willow tree bends slightly, its delicate, weeping branches providing a canopy of cascading leaves that gently touch the ground. These leaves are a muted sage green with subtle highlights of silver, capturing the fading light of the day. At the base of the willow, a small patch of forget-me-nots, with their soft azure petals and tiny, sunlit yellow centers, offer a splash of gentle color.

A weathered wooden bench sits quietly beneath the willow, its surfaces rendered with the textured detail reminiscent of Norman Rockwell's love for everyday objects. On the bench lies a classic woven basket filled with white lilies, their elegant petals drawn with Aubrey Beardsley's signature linework, providing a striking contrast against the muted tones of the surrounding greenery.

In the background, a small, meandering stream reflects the dying light, drawn in the rich, dreamlike palette of Maxfield Parrish. The water, a mix of deep indigo and soft lavender, gently shimmers as it winds its way through the garden, flanked by moss-covered stones illustrated with N.C. Wyeth’s eye for detail and atmosphere.

Above, the sky transitions from twilight’s deep blue to a soft gradient of dusky pinks and purples. Across this gentle expanse, a flock of birds in silhouette soar towards the horizon, capturing a hint of Edward Gorey's whimsical yet refined style.

In a subtle touch, a delicate banner made of flowing silk drapes across a branch of the willow tree, fluttering softly in the evening breeze. In elegant, hand-lettered script reminiscent of Maurice Sendak’s storytelling charm, the words "The Mafi Whānau" are written, gently woven into the fabric, serving as a heartfelt signature within this serene scene.
