Black and white image of a framed piece of paper with writing and illustrations. The paper has a border of various shapes and designs. The border contains flowers, leaves, and small figures. There are three heart shapes with writing inside on the bottom and one on each side at the top. The text in the center of the paper and along the bottom is in a foreign language. The writing in the center takes up the majority of the paper and is large and decorative at the top, getting smaller. The text near the bottom and the top of the paper is smaller. The frame around the paper is made of wood.
