The squares are outlined in dark blue with diamond shapes at the corners. The squares contain floral patterns in a variety of colors, including green, yellow, orange, and blue, on a beige background. Two of the squares contain more elaborate floral patterns that spill into adjacent squares. The gold border appears textured. There is red text at the bottom.
