A group of people gather outdoors in a wooded area, sitting and chatting in front of a large, colorful, hand-painted banner that reads "Happy Birthday Eeyore." The banner is filled with vibrant, abstract art and patterns. Some people have body paint, and a decorated bicycle is leaned against a tree. The setting is festive and communal, with a creative, artsy vibe.
