Two rectangular fabric swatches are positioned vertically in the center of the image. The top swatch contains horizontal stripes in red, orange, and brown with intricate patterns. The lower swatch is a dark mottled blue with scattered flower motifs in colors like yellow, white, and red. The color palette includes earthy tones like red, orange, brown, and blue, along with accents of brighter colors like yellow and red. The two swatches are aligned centrally on a beige background, with the upper design flush against the top, and the lower design beneath it. The background contains remnants of colorful, abstract patterns on the left edge. The name "Mary C Davidson" is printed beneath the lower swatch.
