Two flower-like designs are located in the top corners, each consisting of multiple curved lines extending from a central point. The top section has a repeating pattern of geometric shapes, including diamonds and hexagons. The bottom section has a similar repeating pattern with floral designs. The fabric appears to have a textured surface and is set against a plain white background. The edges of the fabric have a subtle border.
