The shapes are brown with white outlines and blue accents. The grid pattern is made up of 9 identical sections, arranged in a 3x3 layout. Each section has a symmetrical design with a central circle surrounded by a floral motif. The background of the textile is a light-brown color, and there is a thin beige border around the edges. In the bottom-right corner, there is small orange text.
