Visual Description

A pale, mermaid-like woman arches through a blue-green watery field with her arms reaching upward. Five golden cups hover around her at different angles, some tipped as if pouring, others more upright. The background shows soft floral or bubble-like patterns and a sense of depth, while a small cup icon appears in the top black border and the numeral 5 is centered in the bottom border.
