The design consists of large flowers with rounded petals and a circular center, connected by leafy vines and smaller leaves. The flowers have multiple layers of petals and are positioned at varying points along the vines. The edges of the fabric are slightly curved. The image is in black and white. The background behind the fabric is plain white.
