The image is composed of an oval shape with intricate lines and curves. Within this composition, there are three blue shapes resembling tulips or floral silhouettes, with two positioned at the sides and one larger shape in the center. Smaller red heart-like forms are also present. Stylized swirling lines and dots extend from the flowers, creating a dynamic pattern. The design is enclosed within a gently curved border.
