喜上眉梢 Happiness Appears on the Thin End of Plum Twigs (the Eyebrows)

Magpies chatter noisily. It is said that a hapy event would descend when one heard the bird crying. So the magpie is called xique (happy bird). The characters 梅 (plum) and 眉 (eyebrow) have the same pronunciation and tone. The design indicates that happiness or joy is shown on the eyebrows and one will have a successful career as one wishes.
