- Description
- A white paper card with a circular-shaped cutout window that displays a piece of woven wool with blue and silver metallic thread weft and a white cotton warp. Above the cutout is a painted tree branch in brown with blue and silver needles and a silver bulb suspension attached to the circle which represents a Christmas bulb ornament. The paper is folded in three parts. The first piece is folded over and glued; it encases the piece of woven fabric that appears as the circular shape on the front. When the card is opened, on viewer’s right, there is a printed greeting in blue ink “Merry Christmas” and in black ink “And Best Wishes for a very happy New Year Love, Eileen & Bob Hett”. On the back printed in pencil “EILEEN HETT” and underneath ”E14-#10-92”
