In the center of this square print is a shape that looks like a sunburst or star-like shape with eight points. It is in the center of the paper and colored in a gradient of pink to yellow, with dark pink at the top fading into bright yellow at the bottom. From each point of the shape, a line of dark purple extends outward. This purple then fades into white until the next line of purple. The effect creates eight sections that look like the blades of a fan or windmill. Outside this square print is a border of off-white paper.
