This print features swirling lines and large, petal-like shapes that radiate outward. The petals seem to end in pointed, jagged edges. Those at the center are a pale-pink color with vibrant red shadows, while the leafy shapes in the background are blue-green and brownish-yellow. In the center there is also a cluster of black-and-white dots amid the petals.
