The image shows folded pieces of paper with griffon illustrations and a branch of orange lilies. The background features a gradient color palette with shades of blue, purple, and orange. The branch of lilies is on the left side, while the paper with the griffon illustrations is positioned above and to the right of the flowers. A long, narrow piece of material is on the far left. The papers appear to be layered and arranged in a scattered, overlapping manner towards the upper and right sections.
