The image shows the Chelly Wood doll (a Spin Master Liv doll that has been repainted to look like the real doll clothing designer, Chelly Wood) standing on the set of the Chelly Wood doll clothes sewing tutorial videos, with lights and the background of her stage. The text reads, "Chelly's Sewing Room" and "Behind the Scenes." There's a laugh-until-you-cry emoji over the image of the Chelly doll in her sewing room.

The image shows the close-up of a human hand holding ten different tiny books. The one on top is particularly small and has a paper dustjacket. The title of the book reads as follows: "How to measure your dolls, by Chelly Wood." All other books appear to be painted with tiny white pages and covers of various colors including tan, brown, red, purple, bright blue, yellow, and pink. The watermark reminds you to visit ChellyWood.com for free doll clothes patterns and tutorials.
