Summary
A baby congratulations card on a white background. The baby is lying in a wooden hammock with a blue quilt and pillow and is wearing a pink and blue top with a pink bow and pink cuffs. The top end of the hammock has white lacing surrounding the baby's head. The hammock is surrounded by a woodland setting. On the left hand side is a tree with white flowers, with two blue and yellow birds sat in it. Sat on the trunk of the tree is a grey squirrel. Underneath the hammock is a grey squirrel, blue flowers, the back of a brown rabbit and pink flowers. To the right hand side of the hammock is a white rabbit trying to climb the hammock, blue flowers and a brown baby deer. In the top right hand corner the card reads: ' To Welcome Your New Little Girl'. On the right hand side of the inside of the card is a 8 line verse written in black printed ink on a white background. There is a personal inscription on the bottom of this side of the card. On the left hand side of the inside the background is again white. However, in the bottom left hand corner are two white printed rabbits sat on blue flowers and green grass. The card has been made from an A4 piece of card which has been folded and glued down to make an A6 size card.
