No, no and no. Why would you want her to know that she is on your mind on her birthday. If you want her back, yes, if not, let it rest.

I agree with this. If you dumped her, don't bother to contact her. She may read into and think you're trying to get back together, only to be disappointed.

If you are broken up, and stopped talking to her, there's no reason to start up again. Not being hateful, but just there's no reason for it.

Well, she might read more into this then you want. Do you really just want to wish her a good day, or is there more to it than that? Personally, I've never had any contact with an ex from my past. No e-mails, cards, and I'm also not on any social media like Facebook and Twitter.

If she has a boyfriend over there, you might just stir up a lot of trouble and headaches for her for no reason.

Leave her alone.

I will go against the others here and say that unless things ended on a bad note, why not?

I would confine it to an email, not a card, and keep it very casual. "Hey! Happy birthday! How have you been?"

Unless you want to start something up again. Then you might get a little more mushy, like, "Hey! Happy birthday! Been thinking of you lately and wondering how you are. How have you been?"
