Surrounded by a turquoise blue frame, we see a female Sunshine Family "mom" doll or mother doll, modeling a handmade Christmas dress in red and green plaid. It would also make a nice Valentine's day dress or even a dress for an evening out. The words over top of the Sunshine family doll and slightly to the viewers left say "free pattern". Just below these words is the Chelly Wood logo. The whole image is surrounded by a turquoise blue linen fabric frame.

An 18 inch doll wears a donut costume. There's a purple frame around the photo of the 18 inch doll in the frosted donut costume. The words "free pattern" are above and at a slight angle to the left of the photo of the 18 inch doll (not an American Girl doll, but one that looks a lot like American Girl dolls). The Chelly Wood dot com logo appears in one corner of the picture.

Inside a purple frame (with tiny white polka dots), we see an 18 inch doll (not one of the American Girls dolls but another brand) wearing a donut-shaped pillow as a Halloween costume. The words "free pattern" are at a slight angle over the top of the photo, and there's a white arrow that curls from the "free patterns" words to the pillow shape of the donut pillow worn around the doll's shoulders. The Chelly Wood dot com logo appears in one corner.
