"April Showers" aka "Tree of Life"

This Card is one of a few 40th Anniversary releases of March 8th, 2011. Officially it's called "Tree of Life" but many have referred to it as "April Showers". Notable with this release is the first official use of the new Starbucks logo in the top right corner.

The logo (sirens eye) has yet another tweaking, or simplification of the original (see image below). This time the circle has been removed and the words “Starbucks Coffee” are gone. The new marquee appears in only one color: green. The new mermaid still has no nipples as it did in 1971.

This Card is very colorful with various birds and flowers, with the focal point being the cloud just under the new logo. The cloud is raining on the flowers below - hence the "April Showers" name.
