Summary
A card embossed in the middle, in gold coloured ink 'A happy New Year'. This runs diagonally across the middle. Above and below this are lines of green glitter with diamonds of blue glitter halfway. The sections around this have been cut out. Surrounding this rectangle is a larger one with scalloped edges. The edges have been printed in gold ink and there are seven pink flowers on it. Inside the card there is a rectangular flap on the right, which has a gold border and one pink flower in the middle. Inside the card, printed in silver ink is the following 'Love and light be shining, O'er these hours of peace: Joy arise this New Year, Brightly to increase: To thy heart unstinted, All best things be given, Sweet and gladsome guerdons, Richly fall from Heaven! M.S.Haycroft'.
