Looking closely at the page, you will find the main character sitting right in the center. The puppy has floppy ears and a big smile, perfectly positioned next to a two-tier birthday cake. On top of the cake, there is a single lit candle waiting for a wish to be made.

Floating around the puppy are several round balloons with long, curling strings. The air is filled with tiny pieces of confetti and long, wavy streamers that add a sense of movement to the party. You can also spot several small stars scattered throughout the sky, completing this magical celebration scene.

For the puppy, you might choose soft browns, golden yellows, or even a spotted pattern to give it some personality. The birthday cake is a great place to use your brightest colors, like strawberry pink or chocolate brown for the frosting.

Try using a different bright color for every single balloon to make them pop off the page. You can use a yellow or orange marker for the candle flame to make it look like it is glowing. For the confetti and streamers, using a variety of neon or primary colors will create a truly festive atmosphere that feels like a real surprise party.
