A joyful seagull, adorned with a colorful party hat and a bright, beaming smile, stands before a vibrant, multi-tiered birthday cake, illuminated by 42 soft, warm, and golden candlelights, against a serene, sun-kissed sky with a few puffy white clouds, the cake featuring creamy white frosting, decorated with sprinkles in shades of blue, green, and yellow, and a large, bold, red numeral '42' made of sugar, situated on a rustic, driftwood-textured beachside pedestal, surrounded by a few scattered seashells and a sprinkling of sand.
