A bunch of green mistletoe with white and red berries hangs from a satin red bow inside a scalloped cream cartouche edged in dashed green stitching. Mirrored sprigs of pine and holly with red berries and long, flowing ribbons spread out to either side.

Behind it all runs a field of softly wavering red and cream stripes. The gouache and watercolor rendering, with visible brush edges and gentle paper grain, gives the whole piece the warm, nostalgic feel of a vintage Christmas print.
