This drawing shows a light yellow background with two curved shapes filled with bright flowers and green leaves. The flowers are painted in soft colors like pink, blue, and white, arranged in clusters along the edges. Tiny black dots outline the shapes, and there’s a small border of flowers on the left side. The drawing looks like a pattern for embroidery, meant to decorate something small. The way the flowers are grouped suggests it could be for a piece of clothing, like a pocket. Look up embroidery to see how these kinds of designs were used in real life.
