Scene plan v0 (seed — textual genome; no image rendered yet).

Render "The Floating Sky Festival" as one richly detailed illustration on a perfect
summer day, viewed from a slightly elevated angle.

Composition plan:
- SKY: gradient from warm gold at the horizon to deep cerulean at the top. Exactly 9
  fluffy white clouds in a gentle left-to-right arc across the upper third, each with a
  distinct shape: rabbit, teacup, musical note, crescent moon, whale, bicycle, crown,
  butterfly, the number 7.
- BALLOONS (exactly 5, varied heights): (1) red with white horizontal stripes — 2 waving
  children; (2) sunshine yellow with orange polka dots — 1 old woman with a telescope;
  (3) rainbow gradient — 3 cats (orange tabby, black, white) in tiny party hats;
  (4) deep purple with gold stars — 1 man playing a violin; (5) emerald green with a
  large white peace sign — empty basket, banner reading exactly "HAPPY 100TH SKY FESTIVAL".
- FLOATING ISLAND: lush, roughly circular, suspended below the balloons; grass and
  wildflowers; exactly 4 trees evenly spaced left to right: oak, cherry blossom (pink
  bloom), palm (leaning slightly right), pine (tallest).
- PARTY TABLE (red-and-white checkered cloth), left to right: 3-tier cake with blue
  roses (bottom), pink roses and "100 YEARS" in purple icing (middle), one lit golden
  candle (top); exactly 6 cupcakes in 2 rows of 3 with red/orange/yellow/green/blue/purple
  frosting; lemonade pitcher three-quarters full with 3 lemon slices and 2 ice cubes;
  a stack of exactly 8 golden plates; 5 gift boxes in a pyramid (red, blue, green bottom;
  yellow, purple top), each with a white ribbon bow.
- CHARACTERS (exactly 6, three per side): left — girl with pigtails in a blue dress
  (5 fingers per visible hand), penguin with a red polka-dot bowtie, giraffe with neck
  extending above the frame; right — robot with square head, glowing green eyes, and 3
  chest buttons (red circle, green square, blue triangle, vertical), grandmother in a
  sunflower apron giving a LEFT-hand thumbs-up, golden retriever in a blue-and-white
  striped cone party hat. Everyone with a mouth is smiling.
- DECORATIONS: bunting between cherry blossom and pine with exactly 11 triangular flags
  alternating red/yellow/blue; exactly 7 glowing spherical paper lanterns (orange, pink,
  gold, white, lavender, mint green, coral).
- CREATURES: exactly 4 birds (blue jay + cardinal near Balloon 2, canary on Balloon 4,
  hummingbird near the cherry blossom) and 2 butterflies (monarch near the bunting,
  blue morpho near Balloon 5). 5 golden musical notes rise in a curve from the violinist.
- BACKDROP: complete semicircular rainbow with 7 bands in order red, orange, yellow,
  green, blue, indigo, violet. Warm golden afternoon light from the upper left, all
  shadows falling lower right; soft glow around the island; sparkle on the pitcher.
