The predominant image, a photolithograph of two girls posed in a rowboat, set within a gold-lined oval, is centered within the top two-thirds of the sheet. Running horizontally along the lower half of the sheet, four inches from the bottom, are five hand-drawn fortune cookies. The center cookie is partially obscured by a red negation sign.
