In the foreground of the greeting card, there's a hand-drawn illustration of a whimsical garden party set amidst a lush landscape. At the center, a large wooden picnic table is adorned with a vibrant bouquet of Maltese wildflowers, including Maltese everlasting and a few sprigs of fennel. A decorative cake sits prominently, styled with icing that mimics a scenic landscape—verdant hills, a tiny tractor, and a row of evergreen trees, representing Vincent's landscape business. The cake also features a miniature American flag made of marzipan, subtly acknowledging his current life in the USA.

Hanging above the table, a whimsical banner flutters in the breeze, crafted to resemble a vintage Maltese tapestry. In bold, elegant script, it reads, "Happy Retirement Vincent," the letters intertwined with tiny illustrations of Maltese crosses and olive branches.

To the left, an intricate drawing of Vincent as a caricature is seated on a wooden bench. He wears a vintage army helmet with a tiny, humorous flower tucked into the strap, a nod to his service as a Vietnam veteran. Next to him rests an open book titled "The Chronicles of Malta," featuring detailed illustrations of the Maltese coastline, with azure waters and rocky outcrops. His trusty garden spade leans against the bench, its handle wrapped in red, white, and blue ribbon.

In the background, a picturesque countryside scene unfolds, influenced by Maxfield Parrish's luminous skies. The sky is a blend of pastel pinks and purples, transitioning into a warm golden hue as it meets the horizon. Wisps of cotton candy clouds lazily drift across, and a silhouette of a plane soars high above, representing his life's journey.

Framing the scene, a border of delicate illustrations inspired by Beatrix Potter's work includes small creatures—mice with tiny gardening hats, rabbits peeking from behind potted plants, and birds perched on the banner's edge, bringing a touch of enchantment and storytelling to the overall design.
