This card depicts a Day of the Dead (Día de los Muertos) themed birthday greeting. It shows a stylized female character in the tradition of La Catrina, a famous figure in Mexican culture associated with the Day of the Dead with an elaborately painted face in the style of sugar skull makeup, featuring intricate designs around the eyes and mouth. She wears a large black hat adorned with red roses and other flowers. She's holding a birthday cake on a platter. The cake is white with red decorations and lit candles on top. At the bottom of the card, there's text in Spanish that reads "¡Feliz cumpleaños!" which means "Happy birthday!" in English. This text is in a playful, blue font. On either side of the text are simple skull icons. The overall style of the illustration is artistic and somewhat gothic, yet maintains a festive and celebratory feel, uniquely blending the traditions of Day of the Dead with birthday celebrations, creating a distinctive and culturally rich greeting card.
