From top to bottom, and left to right:
Design composed of 4 vertical columns printed upon a grid. First column is decorated with an interlace pattern formed by intertwining stems with leaves; at the center of the interlace pattern is an image of a dotted white chimp holding a flower. Second column is decorated with coiling stems with leaves and flowers that flank a central image of a female composite creature with plant arms and legs. Third column is decorated with 2 superimposed curving vines, one of which has a black 3-petaled leaf at each point, and the other has a black circle. Fourth column is decorated with curving stems of solid black and white dotted leaves that emanate from a central dotted white floral element.
