The front of the card is printed at the bottom with the words “Merry Christmas” and in the center of the card is a small design-printed square that is attached with foam dots. The square has a heart and star ornament design with two small buttons that is embellished with gold “foil” look snowflakes. The card can be attached to gifts with the gold metallic string that is looped through a hole at the top left hand corner of the back cover.
