The basis of this design is one which I use for birthday greetings to friends and family (the "39" can be replaced with any appropriate age, and other elements changed appropriately), but for the sake of anonymity I have designed it as a celebration of the birthday of a certain famous lady. As we all know, distinguishd ladies do not like reaching the age of 40, so every birthday after and including their 39th is their 39th birthday -- which is the theme of this greeting card.
