This is a needlepoint design featuring playful kittens, flowers, and birds. The image shows two kittens - one golden and one white with a patch of gold - playing around a stone pedestal with a floral design. Above them are flowers in red, blue, and white, along with blue birds. The foreground includes more floral elements. The edges of the needlepoint have a ruffled gray trim. The piece is detailed, with a combination of colors and textures, reflecting a Victorian-era influence.
